January 5, 20251 yr Hello Dear community, I've been struggling with server crashes during appdata backups. From my observations, it doesn't matter which container is being backed up - it crashes randomly. While trying to understand this better yesterday, even when I pressed "Manually Run Backup" and then stopped the backup process to check something, the server crashed anyway. So there must be some kind of process initiated at the beginning that causes a memory leak or something else. I ran htop (while backup run) and sorted by memory usage. I noticed a bunch of /usr/bin/dockerd processes were slowly eating up the memory which was still available. I didn't want my server to crash, so around 90% of memory usage I went to settings and disabled Docker service. After that, the memory was freed up, and I was able to enable Docker again. I tried changing the method to stop all containers, perform a backup, and start them again, but this didn't help either. I also disabled the USB Flash backup and compression, but this didn't resolve the issue either. Diagnostic attached. tower-diagnostics-20250105-1941.zip
January 8, 20251 yr This isn't a very active sub-forum. You are probably better off posting in the General Support sub-forum and/or the Appdata Backup thread on Plugin Support. You'll get more eyes on your question this way.
