It seems the user does not run into the timeout, but some other issue
https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5409#c15
So while we will better see what the issue is, it's not a fix after all.

[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu] PVE backup: improve error when copy-before-write fails for fleecing

2024-04-29 Thread Fiona Ebner
With fleecing, failure for copy-before-write does not fail the guest
write, but only sets the snapshot error that is associated to the
copy-before-write filter, making further requests to the snapshot
access fail with EACCES, which then also fails the job. But that error
code is not the root cause of why the backup failed, so bubble up the
original snapshot error instead.

Should have a "fixes #5409:" prefix when applied in the parent git
module. Please consider applying this after the update to QEMU 9.0.0.
Otherwise, I'll have to adapt and re-send that.
