Timeout while waiting for server to start backup

Server UrBackup 2.0.33
Client UrBackup 2.0.32

Recently one of my machines didn’t start its backup. What I know:

  • Ports are open (verified with nmap)
  • both server and client see each other (pingable)
  • I can see client listed in webinterface

If I try to start backup from web interface, it states “queued backup” and does nothing.
If I try to start backup from client, I get “Timeout while waiting for server to start backup”.

Relevant live log on server:

I keep getting “Getting client settings…” and “Cannot do <…>” lines every time I try to start backup.

Has anyone else had this?

I have not experienced this yet, but lets do this one step at a time.

I just noticed this in your logs, so verify this part before continuing with the rest:

Do you maybe have your file backups turned off, as well as your image backups?

  1. Run a remove_unknown.bat on your server to see if there is any residue that is giving it trouble.
  2. Restart both the Server and Client services on both your Server and Client, respectively.
  3. Try running either a file backup of only your C (or root) volume (and nothing else for right now).

Hey, thanks for checking this log.

Restarting urbackupsrv proved to be enough.
Wondering what happened but as it stands, this is fixed.

I have the same problems as AckRite.
Can anyone help us? Log files are not helping to identify the cause.
