[PVE-User] vzdump gives "Backup job finished with errors"

[Vishal Ekhe]

Hi,

Again 'm facing the same error. Last time somehow the error was resolved
and I was able to take backup of VM.

Marco,

I have enough space to take the backup of VM. My temp storage (i.e.
/var/lib/vz/dump/) has enough storage space as below:
root at qaserver5:~# df -kh
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pve-root   19G  1.5G   17G   8% /
tmpfs                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                  7.8G  268K  7.8G   1% /dev
tmpfs                 7.8G   19M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/pve-data  3.6T  1.1T  2.4T  30% /var/lib/vz
/dev/sda1             495M   57M  413M  13% /boot
/dev/md0              3.6T  1.1T  2.4T  30% /var/lib/vz
/dev/fuse              30M   28K   30M   1% /etc/pve


Also I am taking backup from command line using vzdump and that too under
/var/lib/vz/dump
