Hi I am trying to backup my VMs.
so I installed PBS(3.2 version) in a VM which uses the space in local-lvm storage. I schduled a backup job.
1- after a while I looked at and see that my "local" storage is getting full! and I saw "error 70 no space left on device" messages.
when I look at, I have seen zst files in my local storage. so backup job is creating some zst files and this fills my local storage. After a while, this also, I think, triggered some HA tasks to move VMs and even one VM is shutdown!
how can I prevent my local store to be filled up. if they a temporary files, why backup job did not delete them ? and If I delete them, is it OK?
2- backup job is only to run "sun 03:00" but I see the job is back-ing up my VMs continuously again and again ! WHY ?
3- I deleted the backup job (in datacenter view) but still backup job continues to backup my VMs. I use GUI to stop the job but it re-start again sometime later. how can I cancel a backup job completely (for the one which is deleted !)
and now it again started ! here is the backup jobs output. it fills my local storage!
I have even shutdown PBS machine but again it tries to backup!
