Hi,
I use the official urbackup docker image. I migrated from another, custom build one. The custom build handles paths in a different way, so all symlinks are now “dead”. I read, that remove-unknown handles this (UrBackup - Server administration manual) but I cant manage to stop urbackupsrv without stopping the containerm since it is pid 1.
Any hints how I run urbackupsrv remove-unknown inside the official docker containerm without firing up the main entry urbackupsrv run?
Thanks 
Hmm, I tested to run the command with urbacksrv already running and this seem to work:
I detached the NIC, so urbackupsrv cant do anything. I then just typed the command and the server started to fix symlinks. Its still doing the deep link check but Iam optimistic. If that exist without error, I restart the main process and hope all is done
Okay, that worked. And a second run did not discover any erros anymore:

BUT I found out, that the symlinks under clients as well the current symlink under each client folder was NOT (yet?) updated. And I dont know if they should. @uroni ?
Another off topic question: urbackup uses two volumes: /backups and /var/urbackup - the first is obvious, the second should be the config?
I found out, that urbackup always store its config inside /backups too (inside urbackup)! Why is this? => Ahh, it seems that this is a regular database backup (backup_database)
Thanks
