So, I have UrBackup v2.4.13 from this docker image running on a Linux virtual machine.
Alongside this UrBackup image, on the same machine, I have many other docker-compose stacks of apps running. Each of these stacks contains this docker image which then backs up the important volumes associated with each app. These clients would then perform internet backups (I had the containers on separate networks) to the main UrBackup Server.
On initial setup, everything worked perfectly. (I had to not expose ports 35621-35623 for each of the clients, which disables restores, but that didn’t seem to affect backups at all)
I was able to rebuild both the clients and the server and they would reconnect like they were supposed to. This has been working very well fo me so far.
However I recently had to restart my virtual machine and now, no matter what order I restart the clients/server, and no matter how long I wait, the clients simply fail to connect to the server unless I remake them (and lose all my backup data).
This is the log from the clients:
tail: warning: --retry only effective for the initial open
tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/urbackupclient.log’ for reading: No such file or directory

2021-05-23 10:22:41: Error receiving challenge packet
2021-05-23 10:22:41: InternetClient: Had an auth error
And then it pretty much repeats the auth and challenge error every once in a while.
The ‘multicast group’ errors always occur and I don’t think are related.
The server, meanwhile, seems to start up fine. However, it will give these two errors (it doesn’t repeat them):
2021-05-23 10:56:24: Authentication failed in InternetServiceConnector::ReceivePackets: Token not found
2021-05-23 10:56:24: Authentication failed in InternetServiceConnector::ReceivePackets: Token not found
I have checked and double checked that the tokens are the exact same as the tokens listed in the settings, but the backups still fail to connect. This is NOT an issue with backup clients on separate machines. Those clients reconnect just fine.
If you could help me figure out how to reconnect my clients in a situation like this, I would be greatly appreciative. This backup pipeline with this app is absolutely fantastic, but this bug is frustrating.
