settings_db.settings disappearing

I keep having an issue with the new urbackup server as the settings table keeps getting deleted. I have reinstalled urbackup, started backups again and after a while it just dies with the following,

I’ve had to move the databases to another partition but symlinked /var/urbackup to where there are. In the logs I’ve also found this,

2016-07-19 15:50:05: WARNING: Not all folder metadata could be applied. Metadata was inconsistent. 2016-07-19 16:00:01: WARNING: SQLite: file unlinked while open: /var/urbackup/backup_server.db errorcode: 28 2016-07-19 16:00:01: WARNING: SQLite: file unlinked while open: /var/urbackup/backup_server_settings.db errorcode: 28 2016-07-19 16:00:01: WARNING: SQLite: file unlinked while open: /var/urbackup/backup_server.db errorcode: 28 2016-07-19 16:00:01: WARNING: SQLite: file unlinked while open: /var/urbackup/backup_server_settings.db errorcode: 28

Check your symlinks, if accidently urbackup server doesn’t delete its own .db files when its backing up its own database

As it is written in urbackup admin manual: “If checked UrBackup will save a backup of its internal database in a subdirectory called ’urbackup’ in the backup storage path.”

Thanks, thats what it was, re-installed and renamed the folder to something else and now its working fine. Thanks for your help!
