Received an alert that one of my backups failed for a Windows 11 VM, which was in a stopped state at the time of the backup. Backup error was "failed: got timeout". Tried starting the VM and was getting the same error. I can resolve the issue short-term but it keeps coming back. Any ideas on root cause or ways to apply a permanent fix?
Steps to correct the error:
1) Made sure VM was stopped
2) issued the command: qm set 109 --lock suspended
After issuing the qm set command the VM starts successfully. I also manually kicked off the backup and it was also successful. But, after stopping the VM, I get the same error when trying to start it again, which requires me to issue the qm set command once again.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this issue?
