Dear Percona Team,  
I am facing an issue with backups on a cluster with data (less 1GB).  
Long-story short: Backup fails with exit code -1 and stays in `running` state. Lock on MongoDB persists. Deleting backup which is in `running` state does nothing.

## Steps to Reproduce:

Spin up fresh PSMDB cluster. Backup fresh cluster - OK (did it 5 times). Run `mongorestore` from another cluster to restore data:

```auto
mongorestore --db invite --host test-rs0.test.svc.cluster.local:27017 --authenticationDatabase invite --username 'mongodb-user' --password 'password' --gzip --archive=/bitnami/mongodb/backups/full-dev-dump-02-03-2023.archive.gz --drop --noIndexRestore

```

Wait 10-15 minutes. Initiate a new backup… and here starts some random behavior. It will do backup successfully once, or most likely it will fail with `exit code -1` and no additional useful info.

## Version:

PSMDB Operator 1.14.0  
PSMDB 5.0.15-13, 6.0.4-3, 6.0.5-4  
PBM 2.0.3, 2.0.5, 2.2.0

## Logs:

```log

```

`pbm status`

```auto
