I have been using snapshotting before backup without incident, but this morning got errors in the cleanup job that deletes the snapshots. It looks as if I successfully accessed and deleted one volume and then, as I was moving to the next, got an error about the first volume. Then the next volume was also successfully deleted. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks.
