Hello all,
and many thanks to @mgutt for the excellent script for backup.
Before I switched to unraid, I used hardlinkbackup (Windows software that uses rsysnc for backup). Since I don't always want to run a virtual machine for backup, I was happy to find this script here.
I have now split my data to be backed up. The ones that no one will miss if I'm gone, I back up to an external hard drive using btrfs. The data that is important to everyone I back up to NTFS so everyone can plug the disk into a different system.
The backups worked fine in the beginning. But now the backup of the data to the NTFS partition keeps hanging.
Thereby the external disk appears in unraid afterwards like this (0 B used and free):
When I try to restart unraid, I get the following error messages.
Sometimes it works that I can end the process with kill. But often not even that works. If I then force the system to reboot with "reboot", the parity check is started every time.
After the reboot the disk is mounted normally again.
For the backup to the ntfs partition I have adapted the script like this :
rsync -v -rltD --modify-window=10 --stats --progress --itemize-changes --compress --delete --exclude =".rsync" --link-dest="${backup_path}/${last_backup}" "${source_path}" "${backup_path}/.${new_backup}"
Does anyone have any idea what is causing the script to crash?
many greetings
