Hi,
i have a problem with my VM backups.
I have a script that automatically backups .qcow2 images of running VM's everynight via external snapshots, but lately few of my larger servers have started failing on making backups successfully.
Here is my backup process:
backup for guests with guest-agent:
and for guests without:
Then i proceed to copy the base.image....
And here is where it gets stuck with the error :
The guest in question has 2 .qcow2 disks, the blockcommit is successful for the first disk image (sda) but not for the other (sdb).
I tried fixing the problem by manyally aborting the blockjob, which is successfull, but then i get the same error on blockcommit.
Any help on this is appreciated, thanks.
