Slow KVM Native Backup and Failures.

Hello,

I am running into a couple of issues when attempting to work with the KVM Native Backups within VME. The first and most glaring is near instantaneous failures when running a backup job. The 2nd is when they do sucessfully run they are only coming through with ~7-8MiB/s transfer rate. 

The lab environment is a 3 Node Synergy Solution connected to a Alletra MP B10000 via ISCSI with the plugin running HVM Cluster 1.2 on top of Ubuntu 24.04. I also have pulled in a G10 Alletra 6000 DHCI as a VMWare Cloud. I have 3 Backup Targets configured - StoreOnce VSA (running on the DHCI Cloud), Ubuntu NFSv3 (VM running in VME) and Ubuntu S3 /MinIO (VM running in VME). All connections are 10Gb/s. These failures and poor speeds happen on all backup targets. 

Windows VMs have never been sucessful, Ubuntu VMs sometimes are sucessful, Morpheus Community Edition running as a VM is usually sucessful but slow. VME Manager is usually sucessful but slow. I have done a write speed test to the VSA from the Ubuntu Server VME is running on and was able to get well over 100MiB/s writes to the StoreOnce VSA so the networking should be sound. 

When those jobs do fail they sometimes leave unremovable task countdown bar that is stuck at 0:01 remaining in the Instance. 

  1. What can do to make these jobs run sucessfully?
  2. Is there anything I can do to improve this backup performance?
  3. Is there a way to remove those jobs stuck at :01?
