Error backing up VMs on LVM with snapshot-as-volume-chain enabled on Proxmox VE 9.0

[avtubon]

When trying to back up a VM that resides on LVM with snapshot-as-volume-chain enabled, an error occurs. The error message shown on Nakivo is  "Source host could not create temporary overlay file required to backup the VM Reason: Proxmox overlay file creation failure.

The VM is on LVM with option "Snapshots as Volume-Chain are a technology preview." checked

Environment : Proxmox VE 9.0 , Nakivo 11.1

Currently, NAKIVO support the following:
Proxmox VE v8.3-1 - v8.4-1

For more details, you can refer to this article:

In case you have already updated to Proxmox VE 9.0, the VM machine type must be changed to 9.2 or lower version for backup and recovery to work.
