Backup hangs at 14%

[linuxuser1]

I can’t make a backup - it always hangs at 14%. Nothing has changed in 2 hours. All my VMs take up 52 gb of disk. I tried backing up with dom0 and without it - but it’s always only 14%. I don’t see any errors in the log. journalctl | grep qubes-backup shows nothing. Please write all possible commands where I can find the logs and journal of qubes-backup

Try without compression.

Backup crash when using 'Compress the backup' option

I found the root of the issue: Compress the backup I won’t say this is the solution but I’ve at least found a workaround - just finished a complete 26 GB backup by simply unchecked the compress option. Is this a known issue? Any further tests I can do for you to provide more feedback to the dev?

If you’re still using a legacy ‘file’ driver pool, all of the VMs stored in it that are selected for inclusion in the backup must remain shut down until the backup completes. Other than that,

Backup stuck at 99%

The underlying error for backups that are silently hanging can often (maybe even always?) be revealed by setting the backup destination to dom0 instead of a VM: Make sure that your destination path in dom0 has enough free space for the set of problematic VMs.

I disabled active vm from varlibqubes and backup was completed successfully!
