October 25, 20232 yr Dear UNRAID Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek assistance with an issue I've encountered while using the CONNECT plugin on UNRAID. After installing and configuring the CONNECT plugin, I attempted to use the "Flash Backup" feature. However, regardless of how many times I've tried, I consistently receive the following error message: "Failed to sync flash backup." I have thoroughly reviewed the documentation and checked all settings, but the issue persists. I have attached relevant log files as an attachment to provide more detailed insights into the root cause of the problem. You can find these log files in the attached documents. I am using UNRAID version 6.12.4 and the CONNECT plugin version is 2023.09.08.0637. I am uncertain if anyone else has encountered a similar issue, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to resolve this problem. Thank you for your assistance! logs.gz Edited October 25, 20232 yr by baoziking
October 26, 20232 yr At least for my setup, the problem appears to be on the server (Unraid) side. I inspected: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/include/UpdateFlashBackup.php which is the script that is executed and found it essentially runs: git -C /boot push --set-upstream origin master which for me fails: root@<host>:/boot# git -C /boot push --set-upstream origin master fatal: '~/flash.git' does not appear to be a git repository git-annex-shell: git-shell failed fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. The same command however does work on another Unraid server I have.
October 27, 20232 yr I also have the same issue, and was trying lots things (connect, disconnect, reading through unraid, but nothing works). I also got the same error like ashmeckenzie. Any ideas? I'm on the latest unraid version and the latest connect version.
October 27, 20232 yr Oddly, it works for my main server, but not my backup server. Both Unraid and Connect are the latest versions.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. If I run this command in /boot: git remote show -n origin and output the current origin setting, I get the following: * remote origin Fetch URL: ssh://[email protected]:22/~/flash.git Push URL: ssh://[email protected]:22/~/flash.git HEAD branch: (not queried) Local ref configured for 'git push' (status not queried): (matching) pushes to (matching) The issue seems to be the structure of the repo address at remote origin. Either the remote git server is interpreting the tilde character (~) literally and looking for a directory: .../~/, or there is no .git file in the git user home directory at backup.unraid.net. It would help to know the full address of the remote origin so that we can manually change the origin and see if that fixes things. Edited October 29, 20232 yr by arstropica
October 31, 20232 yr I'm getting the same error as everyone else. This was working a couple of weeks ago when I last checked.
October 31, 20232 yr Exactly same issue here.. I have UnraidOS since April and never get the flash backup to work. Always says "Failed to sync flash backup".
November 2, 20232 yr Same. Using latest version of both Unraid and the plugin Unraid V6.12.4 Connect plugin V2023.09.08.0637 It's a fairly new server, so I didn't have remote access allowed until today. I've enabled that (Dynamic - UPnP) and it connects ok: In the Flash backup settings on the management access settings page, Flash backup is activated: Not sure what's going on. I can't get any further than this. just keep getting "Failed to sync flash backup", and on the Unraid Connect page, the Flash backup page incorrectly says that I haven't got Flash backup activated: I tried deactivating Flash backup and activating it again, which didn't help. I then checked the forum and found this thread at the very top, so am guessing there's an issue somewhere!!

November 3, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, igreg said: Same error here. Unraid version 6.12.4. "Failed to sync flash backup" Is it possible that it won't be fixed or investigated by unraid team?
November 3, 20232 yr I'm fairly new here. Does anyone know if someone from Lime Technology is likely to look into it, or give an update here? It's obviously an issue. Does someone need to file a bug somewhere?
November 7, 20232 yr Hi All, I am sorry that you are still experiencing issues with Unraid Connect. We're currently in the process of rolling out new Connect improvements that will solve many underlying issues with the system. We are hoping to ship the vast majority of these features in the next couple of weeks, and once they ship we'll update you to make sure that you know. Thank you for your patience and hopefully we will resolve this problem for you soon!
