Error creating mountpoint [urbackup_mount_helper]

Hi

UrBackup failes to mount image backups in GUI, mount-button is there, but files doesn’t appear.

UrBackup Server 2.1.18 on Ubuntu 16.04

I tried recovering the UrBackup server from a failed system disk around a year ago, and some back and forth. The server has been running smooth since. I think the problem lies somewhere in the settings, remembering a previous path.

Current backup path is: /mnt/backup1/urbackup

Tried running the mount helper:

:~# urbackup_mount_helper mount CLIENT 170211-1922_Image_C Image_C_170211-1922.vhdz
Error creating mountpoint at "/mnt/backup1/no_dice/CLIENT/170211-1922_Image_C/contents". Err: 2

As you see, the command refers to an old path I used for testing. Found this:

:~# cat /var/urbackup/backupfolder
/mnt/backup1/no_dice

Tried editing the file and restarting the UrBackup service, but still not working. Is the path saved somewhere else? The settings page is showing the correct path:

nvm, found a reference in /etc/urbackup/backupfolder, changed this to the correct path and that solved the issue.

Hello! Just comment. This issue occurs when you change backup destination. Then if you trying to mount backup image this error showing in web interface. Solution is to open /etc/urbackup/backupfolder file and correct path with any text editor.

Hello, i don’t have urbacup folder in /etc
i’m running urbackup server installed from repo on centos 7, btrfs filesystem of course.
Any idea where to look for mentioned file?

Have you checked /usr/local/etc/urbackup?

My usr/local/etc is a empty directory :frowning:

Hey,
I have system installed on non btrfs filesystem, where urbackup tmp is set by default.
Move your tmp folder to btrfs partition and button will show after restarting the service.

check /etc/sysconfig/urbackup-server
