Hi, I have some problem with the backup-routine in the node. The backup of the VM are going well but the backup of the LXC's send an error in the log
Code:

The storage for the backup is the same and I don't know where should be a different permission for these backups (VM and LXC) Who can help for this. Best regards Paul
 
UID 0 and 100000 need read+write permission on your backup storage when backing up unprivileged LXCs. For VMs and privileged LXCs its only UID 0.
