Hi,
I’m trying to make the conversion to elastio-snap from datto, but it is not working. I get an error when trying to mount wsnap to the backups folder. Here is the command and the messages that I get (I added some debug messages:
sudo /usr/local/share/urbackup/elastio_create_snapshot 123 "/" "/dev/vda3" "/dev/vda3" 2>&1

vda3 is an ext4 partition.
Kernel is:

I installed elastio according to their instructions for Ubuntu 22.04. Their test works (creating a snapshot and backing up the device with dd).
The script that creates the snapshot is the following:
elastio_create_snapshot.txt (4.3 KB)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Bogdan
