Any ideas how to solve this problem? The functions of snapshot is a must!
 
"unable to dump into snapshot"

I assume your backup target is under /var/lib/vz ?
 
for small test just create a dir on the / filesystem - but make sure you have enough space and you do not fill it up with backups.
 
yes, you cannot save the snapshot data into same volume - by doing this you create a loop with no end ..

but anyways, it makes no sense to store backup on the same server, use NFS share or similar to store your backups remotely.
