I have a small 2 node cluster for some random VM's that had a storage issue last night. Was hoping to utilize my VM backups, but found some VM's are being skipped during the backup job with the following.

What would make these VM's external? This was all working about 2 months ago, then it stopped and is not saying the above.

Here is the backup job as well.

Those VMs run on the other node.

The backup job will run on both nodes, and the backup/log from the other node will include those VMs.

That makes sense.

So I guess the question is, why didn't the backup run?

As you can see prox1 started its backup on Sunday at 12am, prox2 is no were to be seen. Backup job has Node: set to All
 
Hi,
what is the output of systemctl status pvescheduler.service on the other node? Any errors/warnings in the system logs? What is the output of pveversion -v?
