Hello All,
I have two Windows PC clients. One backs up fine. This one does not.
The only obvious difference is that the failing client has symbolic links in its file system. The “included paths” setting in the client are ordered to ensure that I first back up the files that are the targets of the links, then the links to those files.
Every time I try to back up this client, I get these “Stale file handle (code: 116)” errors. The other client works perfectly.
The server is running in a container under Proxmox, and the server’s target disk is a MergerFS NFS share from an OpenMediaVault VM under Proxmox with the MergerFS plugin.
Any ideas?
