The VM is definitely not online/running, and it is not using LVM but
rather the default thin pool mechanism set up by the R4.0.4 RC1
default installer options. This is a brand new install, and backups
were working just fine for about three days without any issues.


Well, the thin pool is LVM, but if the VM is offline, there should not 
be a problem.  Guess you'll have to investigate all the logs you can

find.

The first problem I was originally chasing was why one VM in particular 
never completes a backup and just hangs at 0% while the file grows only 
to about 40kb (the header info?). That specific VM starts and runs just 
fine but just won't complete a backup. A Clone of it runs fine as well.




The backup not completing can occur if the VM is online, and you are not
using LVM.
