VZDump error list and how to simulate them

[Darkhunter]

Hello,
I would like to know, which errors can happen when backuping proxmox VMs.
And I would like to know, how to simulate them. For example I don't know how to simulate locked VM for backup.
I am making script to report backup errors to zabbix.
Thank you for help!

Hi Darkhunter,

if you want to simulate a locked vm for backup, you can use the following command to change the config of the test vm:

qm set {vmid} -lock backup
