My Jellyfin VM has been failing its nightly backups for some time now (maybe a week or so).
I’m currently backing up to a NAS that has plenty of available space and my other 10 VMs are backing up without issues (though they are a bit smaller than this one).
I am backing up with the ZSTD
compression option and the Snapshot
mode.
The error is as follows:

Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions as to resolving it?
Update: After rebooting the Proxmox node (not just the VM) my backups are now working again. Thanks all for the input!
Have you tried powering the VM down and starting it fresh? It sounds like it’s in a bad state. That’d be step one for me.
Just tried shutting it down, starting it back up and trying a backup. Failed in the same spot.
