Deleting incomplete image file

Server
21

According to dpkg.log, starting with 1.4.14 upgraded to 2.0.21 :

2016-05-20 17:22:17 status half-installed urbackup-server:amd64 1.4.14.1402-1
2016-05-20 17:22:18 status unpacked urbackup-server:amd64 2.0.21.0

All images backups i’ve done are FULL backups.
The last good restore i am able to do is with this full image backup :

root@urbackup1:~# ll /media/backup/urbackup/SV54/ total 27557764 drwxr-xr-x 1 urbackup urbackup 216 mai 20 21:18 160520-1805_Image_C drwxr-xr-x 1 urbackup urbackup 256 mai 20 18:05 160520-1805_Image_SYSVOL

The backup was made with server version 2.0.21 and associate client without CBT (don’t remember the version at this moment …)
I didn’t test all of them but If you want have others backups that i can try :

root@urbackup1:~# ll /media/backup/urbackup/SV54/

The latest 20/21/22 June doesn’t work, i.e VM doesnt boot after restore.
I move to CBT client with version 2.0.25-cbt (with server 2.0.26 or 27)

22

BTW, i’ve made an other image restore test of a Windows 2012 R2 VM backed up with the same server also in CBT mode and it works great, maybe an issue with this particular VM / OS version (Windows 2008 R2 vs Windows 2012 R2) ?

EDIT : Forget this, it was with a VM backed up without CBT client …

23

In fact you are right, only the last “real” full backup is restoring correctly, others were “full” but in fact “incremental” due to the “synthetic full image backup” setting …

Sorry for the mistake.

24

Well, it should obviously work as well… But the problem could have been one of the bugs I fixed from 2.0.21 till 2.0.29, correct?

25

Restoring full client image from an image backup made with 2.0.29 doesn’t work.
But restoring the first real full backup made with 2.0.21 and then restoring the last full (but in fact incremental due to the “synthetic full image backup” setting) image backup made with 2.0.29 works.
All others restoration i’ve test failed on VM reboot …

Maybe i should try to remove all images backups for this client with a cleanup, restart a full + an incremental and then try to restore ?

26

I’m going to try a new full + incremental with these client settings :

By the way, It would be nice to integrate this functionnality directly from the web GUI, i.e the ability to browse the content of image volumes and to extract files from GUI.
Are there plans to integrate this functionnality soon ?

Yes, it would be difficult to do this consistently with VHDZ on Windows, though. And I have to fix existing bugs. Currently I am testing image backups, haven’t found (i.e. reproduced) any issue yet, though.

29

Restoration works fine now.
I’ve deleting all client backups, made a new full image backup, then an incremental, and restore the incremental.
VM is booting properly after the restore.

I’m still having troubles, sometimes the SYSVOL backups are deleted with the cleanup process :

01/07/16 12:59  	INFO  	Deleting incomplete image file "/media/backup/urbackup/SV304/160701-0604_Image_SYSVOL/Image_SYSVOL_160701-0604.raw"...

Debian 8 / Server 2.0.30 / BTRFS storage / Clients 2012 R2 - 2.0.28 (without CBT)

Regards,

31

Hmm, could be the SYSVOL backup actually failed. I will change it such that the whole image backup fails in this case.

32

@Uroni, are there any chances to see this in v 2.1, browsing images backups through GUI (for VHD/VHDZ and/or RAW/BTRFS) ?

Regards

33

Hi @Uroni,
Do you plan this in a future release ?
It would be nice to be able of browsing image backups, especially VHDZ images backups …

Thanks.
