Hey guys, I think most of the issues here is related to how you set up your plan.

See:

from https://garethgeorge.github.io/backrest/introduction/getting-started/

For example for my own plan the only difference here is that my path is /backup/some-cool-unraid-folder. The only mapping i have is /mnt/user/backup => /backup.

@matt020191 you may want to map /tmp to /tmp or /dev/shm to /tmp if it is filling up the container for some reason. It shouldnt be an issue in most cases unless you are backing up 10+TB in which case the cache/tmp may reach 100s of gigs. Using Docker directory instead of image would also fix this.

@xman111 this covers it: https://garethgeorge.github.io/backrest/cookbooks/ssh-remote

I'm not able to get Backrest working properly. I want to create a repo at the location /mnt/user/resticbackup and I want to backup shares in the /mnt/user folder, like for example /mnt/user/apps.

When I create the repo in Backrest I enter the path /mnt/user/resticbackup. When I click on Test Configuration it says "Connected successfully to /mnt/user/resticbackup and found an existing repo." However, there is nothing there yet. No repo is created when I click submit, and when I run a check on the repo it fails because the repo does not exist. Why is this happening?

Also, I'm not sure how to get the other shares to show when I create a plan. For some reason the "path" field does not autofill any further than "/mnt", which suggests it can't find anything beyond this.

Config attached. What am I doing wrong?
