I had to stop a backup of some KVM machines in progress because it had hung and wasn't working. I stopped this backup via the web interface and it finished saying "Erorr: unexpected status".

In looking in /backup partition there is still the following files

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107966567701 Oct 21 02:07 vzdump-qemu-101-2012_10_21-01_00_02.tar.dat
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 01:00 vzdump-qemu-101-2012_10_21-01_00_02.tmp

Is OK to remove these?

Also it looks like it left a snapshot in lvm

LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
vzsnap-dc03r09ds30-0 lvm_local_storage Swi-I-s- 1.00g vm-101-disk-1 100.00

Is this safe to remove and if so how do you remove it?

Thanks,
Eric

Just make sure there is no running vzdump process. Then remove with 'lvremove'
