Proxmox. ERROR: Backup of VM failed - CT is locked (backup)

I solved my problem. qm manages the qemu VMs while pct is for containers (lxc). For unlock containers need to use command:

pct unlock <ID>

in my case:

pct unlock 206

    I tried to create backup of the container (LXC) in my Proxmox and I get the error:

    INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 206 --node my_server --mode snapshot --storage backups-stor --remove 0 --compress lzo
    INFO: Starting Backup of VM 206 (lxc)
    INFO: status = running
    ERROR: Backup of VM 206 failed - CT is locked (backup)
    INFO: Backup job finished with errors
    TASK ERROR: job errors
    

    I many search the Internet and found the advices with command:

    qm unlock <VM ID>
    

    But when I execute this command on my server:

    qm unlock 206
    

    I got error message:

    Configuration file 'nodes/myserver/qemu-server/206.conf' does not exist
    

    How can I unblock my VM to create a backup?
