Hi,

We have one server where scheduled (nightly) backups fail with "Error: job errors" - was hoping someone could shed some light. It seems that the VE's must be suspended - and we are not sure why.

We are using a 1 month old version of Proxmox 2.2-32.



Here is a log from every night:

Any help here would be appreciated!
 
You need to choose another backup location (current limitation for lvm, will be solved in next release)
 
Dietmar, OpenVZ will still need LVM for live backups. the new 2.3 backup system without LVM is for KVM guests only.
