Question: when I restore a container (or VM for that matter) do you start the container after the restore or leave it off (which I would prefer). Reason: I manage most of my containers via docker compose using stacks in Dockhand (Unraid docker compose plugin is very weak). And to recreate a stack I have to restore all the individual containers of a stack one by one (and they depend on each other, so if one starts without the other having been restored.....) Ideally I could restore a whole stack 😉 But this I don't even know on how the best way to implement / Interface in the GUI.....

All the things I had in mind are already here 😊 Especially the restore stuff.....: https://github.com/junkerderprovinz/bombvault/issues/19

Great job!

I get this error "2026/06/28 05:00:04 virshcli: "dumpxml" failed: error: failed to get domain 'DietPi_template" now each time, how do I get rid of it. I find this: There are no local/offsite backups any more. How do I delete this entry

One more change. My normal backup plan in Backrest is daily local and weekly remote. I have different retention times (prune schedules) for each, remote I keep longer (archive). In Bombvault I have one single prune schedule.....

Small GUI error. When I do a manual prune (local/offsite) I get the healthy indicator. But when I switch to the other repo (local/offsite) the healthy stays, in spite of no prune having been run. It should clear this flag when switching repo selector

Also fixed. Backup worked fine and stopped/restarted containers correctly

I can confirm that this is fixed. Prune is working and respecting the setting. I have docker container with 700GB of data and backups got growing, so this was quite important ;)

just updated and tested: bombvault v2.8.0 Backup & disaster recovery for Docker containers and KVM/libvirt VMs Did a flash manual forced prune. Still not working!

I had the gluetun backup shutdown the other containers on backup... Containers are not restarted.

Just checked the logs, I got all these errors this night: 2026/06/26 05:00:00 schedule: running containers job 2026/06/26 05:00:00 schedule: running flash job 2026/06/26 05:00:00 schedule: running vms job 2026/06/26 05:00:03 virshcli: "dumpxml" failed: error: failed to get domain 'DietPi_template' 2026/06/26 05:00:03 schedule: vms job: backup "DietPi_template" failed: backup vm: dumpxml: virshcli: dumpxml: error: failed to get domain 'DietPi_template' 2026/06/26 05:02:53 backup: restart dependency "arr-prowlarr-1" failed: dockercli: start: Error response from daemon: cannot join network namespace of a non running container: container arr-gluetun-1 is exited 2026/06/26 05:02:53 backup: restart dependency "arr-qbittorrent-1" failed: dockercli: start: Error response from daemon: cannot join network namespace of a non running container: container arr-gluetun-1 is exited 2026/06/26 05:02:53 backup: restart dependency "arr-radarr-1" failed: dockercli: start: Error response from daemon: cannot join network namespace of a non running container: container arr-gluetun-1 is exited 2026/06/26 05:02:53 backup: restart dependency "arr-sonarr-1" failed: dockercli: start: Error response from daemon: cannot join network namespace of a non running container: container arr-gluetun-1 is exited

I deleted a VM and want to delete all backups local/remote: I have to select all ndividually local and remote and delete them.... Should be a one go command (like in containers if I rember well). Also then hoping repo's will be pruned.... You didn't comment on this one broken feature :(

Nice. What about the prune issue. It's broken.....

This list should scrollable.... and show all the backups from the last day/s, ideally one could choose a date and list the backups of that day.

I had Bombvault to notify on error and I got this as error message in Unraid Notifications (as I've set to receive them there). We'll see how the next one goes.

I'm also getting this on one VM backup: VM backup warning: Home Assistant domfsfreeze failed; snapshot will be crash-consistent.

@manilx Bombvault was updated at 2AM by app updater plugin. New backup run at 5AM with new version. Flash has not been pruned. Just to be sure forced update of container again, run prune manually, same issue, 22nd and 23rd should have been merged and nothing happened.

Regarding pruning, probably missing something. I have: When I force a prune: Shouldn't the 22/6 and 23/6 backups have been merged to 1 each?

Is this indicator on all domains/vm's/flash?

I'm on latest. Did a VM backup and then a "replicate". Didn't see anything on the dashboard.... The button changed to "replicating

Did a flash backup to local than run a "replicate now" but I did not find any progress on the dashboard or the flash backup.....

all fixed! Didn't try "- A running indicator shows which domain is replicating off-site (on its page and the Dashboard). It's an active indicator, not a percentage: restic copy doesn't expose machine-readable progress like backup does."..... It's now in a state that more should use it!!!!!!! I'm running it parallel to me normal backups now.

Ther's a bug in the folder selection of containers. Containers with no appdata or bind mounts show as having a folder: This folder does not exist. And under backups no backups are shown.

Seeing these errors in the log when backups start to run: 2026/06/23 05:39:03 restic init stderr: Fatal: create repository at rest:http://xxxxxx:8000/dxp480t/vms/ failed: Fatal: unable to open repository at rest:http://xxxxxxx:8000/dxp480t/vms/: config file already exists The repo was created by Bombvault...!?
