I've configured VZDump to run daily and to backup all VMs (which include KVM and LXC).
LXC containers backup without issues every time; KVM, however, does not.
My current KVM guests are Windows 10 Pro and Windows Server 2016. Both have enabled "Shutdown: Allow system to be shutdown without having to log on".
If I manually run a backup (by navigating to Node -> Backup and selecting Backup Now), it works fine--the VM shuts down, the backup starts, the VM is restored to a running state, the backup continues, and the email notification is sent when completed.
However, the scheduled vzdump backups of the same VMs result in the following error for each Windows VM (I haven't tried this with a non-Windows KVM VM, so not sure if this is specific to Windows or to KVM backups):
I should also note that running
from the CLI works fine as well.
Please advise.
