No backup transfer after recreating FS on client

veehexx · April 30, 2022, 10:05am

long story short, i’ve deleted and recreated my data partition on my file server. The OS install was untouched and i restored the data from urbackup server via rsync to the client.
Data was originally was on a single BTRFS subvol, but i’ve now split data up for possible future use into individual subvolumes.

however when urbackup server attempts either perform a full backup or incremential, then it completes but with 0Bytes actually copied in the webUI.

below is the client debug logs - nothing obvious sticks out to my eye.

$ sudo urbackupclientbackend -v debug

still not found a solution to this yet.

ran the uninstall_urbackup script to clean up the linux client, reinstalled the auto-update enabled scripted as per install instructions.
ran a backup from cmdline and while i dont have the exact log output, the server is displaying the job so proves i’ve got client/server comms. however the client cmdline reports a server timeout and no change to backup behaviour.

no solution yet, but i got time to look into this again; found that its something to do with snapshots.
I’ve uninstalled the client installation, reinstalled and reconfigured the client to ‘no snapshot mechanism’ (probably was ‘btrfs filesystem snapshots’) during the initial clientside installation and backups are now working.

shame i’ve tried wiping the server, and data on the server with no fix, so i’m essentially starting from scratch but at least i’ve got things working again. good enough for home use.
