Precondition check failed. - failedPrecondition - Giving up.

[Christopher]

Has anyone ever gotten this error 

The box had been restarted as some point yesterday by someone else.

I than started the process again and got what is below. 

--- gyb --email lal...@lalalala.com --search "Before:2021/12/31 " --action backup --service-account
Got 85559 Message IDs
GYB needs to examine 85559 messages
GYB already has a backup of 80680 messages
GYB needs to backup 4879 messages
backed up 4879 of 4879 messages

GYB needs to refresh 80680 messages
refreshed 18280 of 80680 messages
400: Precondition check failed. - failedPrecondition
 - Giving up.

Oh, I did have --batch-size 10 at the end of the request

[Brian Gates]

I see those occasionally as well - even with no filters or switches.  I'm refreshing a backup and at the end get "Refreshed NNNNNN of NNNNNN messages" where it appears complete.

I'm also seeing this error while checking a few accounts on our domain. Some complete without issue, most error at various points of completion.

C:\>gyb --email us...@domain.com --action estimate --service-account
Got 576756 Message IDs
GYB needs to examine 576756 messages
GYB already has a backup of 0 messages
Estimated size 3.53gb 18400/576756 messages

400: Precondition check failed. - failedPrecondition

Any thoughts?

I have had that error also but have just run the command again and the messages complete successfully.

Hello !

I had this same issue last week during an account archiving. 

An account backup with more than 1.5M messages/ 300GB hanged up in ~ 90% of process. 

After tried many options, I had success using the option --fast-incremental. 

# /opt/gyb/gyb --service-account --action backup --email $GYB_ACC --fast-incremental

I hope this can help anyone else. 

Regards.
