zoggy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 11 hours ago, KluthR said: If the database container stops before backup, all is fine. If you want a dump as backup, you have to write own scripts. Maybe appdata backup could do this for us somehow. I know how to export mysql, pgsql and mongodbs, since I do it at work full automated via remote ssh. ive heard this is a solution to use, https://github.com/tiredofit/docker-db-backup you basically dont touch your actual db, and just have that docker run backups periodically from it to a place of your choosing which you back that up.

Kilrah Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 That's what I've been using, and what I'd like per-container scripts. That way the container would be stopped, my script would run backup-now from the db-backup container, then the container's data gets backed up and it's restarted. Quote Link to comment
spiderben25 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hi, Since updating to Unraid 6.12.2 and switching to this Appdata app, I have a problem creating a backup. It seems like the "Save external volume" feature is not working. When the app tries to backup for example Binhex Krusader docker, which contain a large /mnt mount, it sees it as an external volume, the option to save it is toggled to No as default, but the backup process takes forever and it seems like it's creating a very large tar files despite the actual /mnt/appdata/binhex-krusader folder is only a few kb. Can you help me with this one? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Space-Elephant Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hey, Does this Plugin still work if all Appdata Folder are ZFS Datasets? Thanks for the Help! BR Quote Link to comment
KluthR Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 This plugin works on top of the filesystem layer. It just does packing commands. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gico Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I have a Tautulli container that has a mapped folder to another container (Plex). That caused the Tautulli backup to fail so I excluded that Plex folder from the backup: /mnt/user/appdata/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs Now the target folders of the backups still has "-failed" suffix (i.e. "ab_20230711_043002-failed") , but there are no backup.log or backup.debug.log files, so is the backup successful or not?

KluthR Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Gico said: so is the backup successful or not? Take a look to the „Status“ tab. What is it saying? Quote Link to comment
Gico Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It says: "The backup is not running. The log is not existing or empty" Quote Link to comment
KluthR Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 What happens, if you start the backup by yourself? Quote Link to comment
sonic6 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The container stopping timeout should be higher or per container customizable. Some of my containers aren't backuped and also not started when "appdata backup" is finished: -ferdium-server -OpenSpeedTest -OnlyOfficeDocumentserver Debuglog is attaced ab.debug.log Quote Link to comment

The timeout is the timeout set in the global Docker settings. The Plugin has nothing hardcoded. the plugin should skip backup if stopping was not successful, that doenst seem to work.

ezek1el3000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Plugin works like a charm. But would it be possible to name the folders created for each backup differently? I don't like the name scheme. Now every folder has a name like "ab_20230713_043001" can we get an option that let us select a different name pattern? Or at least add "-" like yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss Quote Link to comment
KluthR Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 For what reason? The plugins task is to create and restore backups. For this is creates folders with a fixed name scheme. Why should it be configurable? Quote Link to comment
ezek1el3000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Readability. That is how i check from time to time if the backups are done. Sure, I could check the status/log page, but checking the latest folder is much faster, for me at least. Does the plugin sent out notifications? Quote Link to comment

Yep, if its set. 3 minutes ago, ezek1el3000 said: but checking the latest folder is much faster, for me at least. What would another naming change? Failed backups are suffixed with „-failed“.

ezek1el3000 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Okay, notifications only happen if the backup got errors or warnings, not when its done correctly. I keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment
