Im having an irritating problem i use urbackup as incremental backups for many clients and as an offsite cloud service i use owncloud
the issue im haviing is the selected folders to sync with owncloud, so what happens when urbackup runs its incremental/full file i just get a bunch of shortcuts created in urbackup so the main folders never gets backed up because its also an owncloud sync
I dont know if this will fix the issue of urbackup creating shortcuts but im trying to see if i exclude all owncloud create files if it will solve my issue
this is my exclude comands il be putting in ur backup .db;.db-wall;.db-shm;Thumbs.db;owncloudsync;.owncloudsync;.owncloudsync;.owncloudsync.log.1;.owncloudsync.log.2;*.owncloudsync.log.3
The issue is still there but the weirdest part is now incrementals fail the entire time or not so to say fail but instead creates a full file backup
getting realy frustrated since its a 6 TB drive and the backups is only 1.3 TB and it only keeps 1 copy
Im 100% sure its owncloud since when it run then it creates full file backups instead of incrementals. It also then creates shortcuts over the folders that is selected to sync with owncloud so those folders dosnt backup but accourding to urbackup it was succesfull wich it is definitly not
When a exit owncloud completly then urbackups works 100% and incrementals work and no shortcuts created
Ok, just to clarify, are you trying to backup the UrBackup server backup storage with OwnCloud, or trying to backup a folder synced via OwnCloud from a client?
Then the operating systems involved would be important… (plus UrBackup + Owncloud versions?)
Ok, no idea. If OwnCloud uses something like OneDrive (which I doubt), where the files aren’t stored normally (instead in some kind of cache database), that could be the reason (the files aren’t always present on disk anymore, but loaded “on-demand”).
Perhaps you can send/post me some (client) logs, or even “C:\Program Files\UrBackup\urbackup\data\filelist.ub”.
