[PVE-User] Backup VM online with snapshot LVM2

[Rob wylde]

Even with qcow2 i've noticed the vm grinds to a halt during the backup in
snapshot mode. However the past it would also affect other vm's with 2.0 im
not noticing those same results .. seems isolated to just the vm thats
being backed up. perhaps i need to adjust the NICE priority ?

Thanks
