Proxmox. ERROR: Backup of VM failed - CT is locked (backup)
17,741
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?
