i am not blaming anyone just explaining what happens so maybe someone wil have a sollution.
the vms are running on a NFS nas share
the disks are OK.

thx

the vmx file pointed to snapshot 0004 so i edited it like you posted to the version without a 0000 .
then i started the vm and have the same problem.
disk errors need to run fsck and i am presented with a initramfs
back where i was when i started this post.

the vm was running and working before i started the cli command to backup using xsi.
then the next morning i looked at the putty screen and got what i posted here before
when i try to acces the vm nothing was responding so i restarted the vm and then i got the disk errors and initramfs prompt cant acces tty

used the fcsk /dev/dm-0 but stil same problem when restart...

thx for your response

well the message was that the vm would be backedup live.
at 70% there was not enough space so the backup failed and stopped with that error message

it was cloning one of the snapshot disks i geuss.

anyway after this i could no longer acces the vm
i then rebooted and then i got a disk error need to fsck the disk message
after that i got a cli but not the menu ( turnkey linus ) and no acces ssh online local.

i am trying to mount the LVM disk so that i can copy the database folder that i hope to replace a new installation with
so i can get my database back that was runing on that machine

funny i did not yet make a backup so this was the first one and now i lost my backup and org. vm... ;-(

after a failed backup of a hot running system (  debian )  because of no more space on the destination disk

The vm did not run anymore and a reboot failed
when booting there was a disk disk that needed to be checked and that failed where it CLI ended on : the error /bin/sh can't access tty job control turned off    (initramfs)

so no clue what do to now.
