[abkrim]

Error show:

INFO: setting parameters failed - VM is locked (backup)
ERROR: Backup of VM 516 failed - command 'qm set 516 --lock backup' failed with exit code 255

On same machine there are 4 machines KVM. Only this VID has problem.

Re:[SOLVED]-[BUT NO EXPLANATION] Problem with backup qemu/kvm VID

The suggested command solves the situation of the locked VM.
But I am more curious what can possibly be the reason that the VM is stuck in the backup-process and or locked.
The log-file doesn't tell me any useful information.

Another backup process still running?
Or you had a power failure previously?
Or rebooted the node during backup in progress?

command:

vzdump --compress --dumpdir=/backup --mailto [EMAIL="xxxxxx@gmail.com"]xxxxxx@gmail.com[/EMAIL] 516

How were you able to change the ID of the guest? Im battling to set the id over 100 so that vzdump will work.
