Hello,

I have a backup server configured in Ubuntu Server, and then we have multiple servers on our Network, some are Windows Server 2008 and others are Ubuntu server 14.04.

On the Windows Server the backups are working perfectly, but on the Ubuntu Server we are getting the following error:

Errors
21.11.14 18:53
Cannot access directory to backup: “”
Errors
21.11.14 18:53
Constructing of filelist of “dns1.brickit.local” failed: error - index error
Errors
21.11.14 18:53
Backup had errors. Deleting partial backup.

I would appreciate any help on this issue.

Yours Sincerely,
Henrique Sousa

Hi, i have the exact same problem.

It seems to not work with “/” as backup directory. Will be fixed.

Please exclude /dev/*;/run/*;/sys/*;/proc/* when it is fixed.

Hello,

When can we expect the fix? Any ghetto fix that you may have at the moment?

EDIT: If it helps this doesn’t work for File and Image backups.

Yours Sincerely,
Henrique Sousa

Ghetto fix, or what others seem to have done: Set default dirs to backup to /bin;/boot;/home;/lib;/lib64;/media;/mnt;/opt;/root;/sbin;/srv;/usr;/var

Hello,

I’m testing for the “Full File Backup”, it appears to be working smoothly. I have a question you just listed all the directorys in the “/” directory right?

Yours Sincerely,

Hello,

The solution you provided works perfectly for the “File Backups”, but for “Image Backups” it doesn’t work.

And it doesn’t provide a LOG, I’m attaching a file with my configuration for this.

Yours Sincerely,

Hi,

I made a link “ln -s / /urbackup” and then put “/urbackup” in the default directory to backup. It works but i guess i will hit problems if i have to do a full restore :wink:

Actually that was a stupid idea … it does’nt work at all …

Hello,

I think the problem with “Image Backups” on Linux is related to BTRFS, because you only provide scripts for BTRFS and we are using LVM, which apparently doesn’t work with each other.

Any solution for this?

Yours Sincerely,
