XSIBackupDC 1.5.1.4 Error code 3294 e 4179

Dear,

When doing backups on a fairly large VM (300GB) I notice these errors raising after 40-45 of daily backups. If I rotate, i.e. empty the repository directory they disappears for others 40-45 days, than back again. Now I have the older backup (they are dailies) at 13-11-2021. When raising these errors VM is backupped but not diffed... i.e. takes a lot longer.

· none: 2022-01-03T11:00:32 | Error code 4179 at file common.c, line 4179 | Error description: .lock on '/vmfs/volumes/backupsvms/PreludeData/data/.blocklog' after 30 s
· none: 2022-01-03T11:00:32 | Error code 3294 at file xsibackup.c, line 3294 | Error description: something went wrong grabbing .blocklog data, error: No such file or directory
· linux-mail-55: 2022-01-03T15:53:06 | Error code 4701 at file xsibackup.c, line 4701 | Error description: some error/s were raised while backing up: VMs(linux-mail-55), error count is: 2

Total blocklog size is actually 200 MB.
Notice that only big VMs are affected (> 300GB); others VM inside the same repository aren't experiencing this behaviour.

Any ideas?

thanks,
regards,
Michele
