I have a large vm that I have been trying to backup. I have watched it finish a few times, but at the very end it throws an error when removing snapshots. Presumably because of this error it doesnt commit the backup as a success on the storage, so subsequent runs it says “No previous backup found”.
What can I do about this? There is no space issue, and removing the snapshots works fine. What am I missing here?
