Ive released a small update which fixes the Abort button and accepts the "error" "Container already started" as ok. IN THAT case, the plugin logs two lines of JSON formatted debug information.

 

I ask all users, having those "Already started" issue: Please post the backup log, including those 2 debug informations.

 

As said: I dont really understand what is going on - example @blaine07: One container did stopped and while starting, it outputs "Already started" - so, either docker dont telling me the truth about stopping the container initially or something is starting the container in between again. We will see.

Here is where I got with last nights backup:

So i kinda remembered why containers may be running already once I am cancelling backup and going it's going to start containers back up like before backup started. A long time ago I had issues with containers so I have a few cron restarting certain containers BUT I have always ran my backups at 135am and the cron have NEVER conflicted with Appdata being backed up until now, it's always completed backup before any cron jobs I had were set to run.

Cron Jobs(Your getting a picture because I don't know how to show you any other way, sorry):

If you need clarification; let me know.

I dont know what should be different. Looking at your log, tells me, that the backup started 01:45:10 with the flash backup and 01:45:19 with the main backup. The tar backup ends at 06:26:02 because you aborted it. The mechanism for backup is the same.

 

If you want, you can downgrade the version back to Squids latest and try again, I would not get, why it should be faster.

 

Why do you have cronjobs at all for this?

The plugin support was moved!

To manage everything a bit better, I created a new thread: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/132721-plugin-ca-appdata-backup-restore-v3/

 

@ich777 Iam not able to "pin" single posts there, is there anything I need (persmissions)?

 

Could someone close this thread?

 

Plugin support links are getting updated soon - as well as the name.

Cron jobs are irrelevant; they’ve never “crossed times” before now. This backup has always finished by 330-0400. I’m not sure what’s taking so much longer than normal either though 😞

Install the older plugin version and try if it is faster

I would recommend that you ask @Squid if he can lock this post since he is the owner...
