Hi,
what I did was simply press the "Backup Now" button within the configuration subpages of a single VE.
It starts, then the snapshot runs full and everything fails, eg 2 GB backup written (but 30 GB should have been done).
Now two things do worry me: a) the invalidated snapshot is not seen by the script and therefore it concludes (no matter what) "done fine", which is plain wrong and then another very strange thing happens: the manually kicked backup decides without question to remove (possibly) older releases of this backup from the selected backup-storage.... NOW, THIS is definitely not what I'd expect by hitting a backup-now button, I'd neither expect this to clean files automatically for me - and especially if the backup that is done "now" is not to be expected to fail and yet give success and therefore nuke the whole backup-files and anything with it....
Please do not even consider removing old backup files if the end-user doesn't confirm, this could give us all some serious data loss. And I would also expect another backup-automation to be quite more flexible than just kickin' me in vain....
