Hi,
the backup job is stuck waiting for the nfs share; as soon as you restore the
share all the pending jobs should start flowing again.
Watch the processes on the proxmox server (vzdump and/or tar jobs); maybe the
backups are running right now.
I guess that a timeout on the backup job and a check for the avaibility of the
nfs share could avoid this situation, but I think it is better to wait for 2.0
before making any request about.
