Two questions:

1. Is this group monitored? If not is there a better or preferred support forum?

2. Has anyone else found weekly and monthly backups are no longer taking place?


Thanks.

Yes, it is :) But no one is working on this project currently.

We haven't noticed this. Are you using docker image or Debian package?

Thank you for the reply. I am using the Debian package. What I'm finding is that all backups are being treated as daily no matter the policy. This has apparently been going on for a long time.

Hi,

I just checked a live Elkarbackup server, this seems quite good:

What daily/weekly/monthly config are you using?

# dpkg -l|grep elkarbackup
ii  elkarbackup                       2.1.0

# dpkg -l|grep rsnapshot
ii  rsnapshot                         1.4.2-1

Cheers

It appears to be the policies. When I attempt to delete a policy, I get a 500 error. Maybe the database?
These servers have been running for quite a while and have been updated more than once. Updates can be struggle between MySQL and MariaDB. Perhaps something is corrupted.

I should point out the issue appears limited to monthly, I initially said weekly but they seem to be taking place.

I set this one up to run yesterday:

The runjob command in logs:
2022-02-07 19:00:03 INFO RunJobCommand
Running "/usr/bin/rsnapshot" -c "/tmp/rsnapshot.12_25.cfg" Monthly 2>&1

But there is no monthly:

From console:
 /detached/elkarbackups/mira/0012/0025/
Daily.0  Daily.1  Daily.2  Daily.3  Daily.4  Daily.5  Daily.6  Weekly.0

This is an updated policy that saved properly so it can't be that. I am at a loss.

Sean.

Hi,

You will have a monthly when a weekly goes out of rotation... Se that I don't have a january monthly yet.

You can check rsnapshot manpage to learn how this works.

Cheers
