I recently installed Duplicati and I am trying to do a backup of my data. It's set to backup all my shares to an external disk, the paths of which are all correctly input. However when I run it, Duplicati doesn't actually back up anything to the drive, it just eats through the entire docker vDisk and then crashes the docker engine. The only way to recover is to start in safe mode, increase the size of the vDisk and then everything returns to normal.

 

There is nothing I can do to stop this process either. After I stop the backup, it still keeps going to eat the entire vDisk. Even the deleting the container does not empty the vDisk.

 

What is going wrong here? Why is it not backing up properly?

Hi, were you able to resolve this issue?

 

Try accessing your external backup disk from the Duplicati Docker console.  Can you read and write to the "Path: /backups" directory from within the console?

 

Regarding the consumption of the vdisk space; Is Duplicati creating backup or working files in the vdisk?

 

How is your "external disk" defined?

 

I've been running Duplicati for several months and primarily backup to iDrive Cloud, but I have also had success backing up to local shares.

 

Let us know how you get on with this.

 

Cheers,
