Prefilebackup.bat on client 2.0.28 start getting error

Testing
1
  1. Server-side=2.0.29 + Client-side=2.0.28 = ERROR
  2. Server-side=2.0.29 + Client-side=2.0.26 = OK

Explanation:

  • On client 2.0.26, on live-log, there is no detail about “prefilebackup.bat” commands but all was OK
    Infact, we can read on live-debug:
    21/06/16 13:40 INFO Starting incremental file backup…
    21/06/16 13:40 DEBUG QUAD: Connecting for filelist…
    21/06/16 13:40 DEBUG QUAD: Waiting for filelist
    …HERE is where prefilebackup.but run (no details BUT ALL GOES WELL)
    etc,etc…
    etc,etc…
    etc,etc…

  • On client 2.0.28, on live-log, we get commands details on executing steps of prefilebackup.bat BUT ALL single line of that .bat get color-red ERROR.

Downgrading client at 2.0.26 start backup working correctly again.

It fails if prefilebackup.bat returns a non-null exit code. It probably says something like

Script prefilebackup.bat returned with error code x

Is that in the documentation?

Also, would you be open to the idea of putting the documentation under source control so that others can contribute? There are tons of things that I think about on occasion that could/should be added to the documentation, but there is no easy way to contribute to that.

In the 2.0.x manual it is described in section 6.4. The manual source is here: https://github.com/uroni/urbackup_backend/blob/dev/urbackupserver/doc/admin_guide.tex

It would already be much help if I get hints (or nudges) about what is missing.

Installed old client 1.4.11 and now all is OK.
So, what happens on 2.0.x ?

I have the same problem with the client 2.1.16 and server 2.1.19. Any solution?
