The backup task log you posted shows that the VM was already stopped at the start of the backup and does not show an error. Was the error in an earlier attempt? Please share the log for that and check your system log/journal around the time the issue happened for any additional information.
restarted backup.

this run, vm off, and started backup.

So this attempt is still making progress?
