[Support] binhex - UrBackup

[simpleServer]

Hi,

How can we request this CA be updated to the latest release of urBackup?

[KluthR]

I just switched to the official urBackup container. It needs some paths adaptations but it works. Since they offer an official one, I dont see any need fir the binhex anymore.

Looks like it's up to date to me. When the urBackup team pushes a new release through distribution it will automatically get built, AFAIK.

The thing is that the AUR entry seems not to be maintained by the urBackup team but a 3rd party, they've apparently tried to set it up to automatically update but it doesn't seem to work since it's 2 versions behind

Would you mind writing up a quick summary of what you did to transition your install?

 

I'm sure some people would find it helpful.

[KluthR]

Basically you remove UMASK, PUID and PGID variables and change the the variable for the backup to point to "/backups" (container path) and the appdata to "/var/urbackup" (container path).

 

Change "Repository" to: uroni/urbackup-server:latest

Change "Docker Hub URL" to: https://hub.docker.com/r/uroni/urbackup-server

If you want you can use the Icon @

Add a new variable, named "TZ" and enter your right Timezone (e.g. "Europe/Berlin").

 

The template for the docker container by uroni:

For the record I reported the issue of failing to update to the AUR package maintainer and they fixed it so the AUR got updated and in turn so did the binhex container.

Hey, thanks for this very useful container!
It took me some time but I got clients to do internet backup, however, only with dyndns/direct IP.
Did anybody find a solution to run behind Cloudflare and Swag ?
I don't need the remote access to the admin web interface (for now), i just need the auto backup function to run silently on internet client side.
Thanks

I see that we should be able to mount VHDZ images to the PC using the WebGUI on the project page, however that option is not available. Is that a limitation of running UrBackup in this Docker container or is it just unmet dependencies? 

[Lonewolf147]

I'm having a small nightmare now. Maybe someone here can help.

I have multiple windows machines using the client, and the host is running on my unraid system. Backing up images works like a charm. MY laptap is now taking a dump, and I need to do a restore from one of the backups. I created the Restore CD, ran it, and get to the page where I select which backup to use, but when I look at the list of hard drives to restore to, my internal HD on my laptop isn't there. Any misc USB's I have plugged in are seen, just not the HD. I've unplugged all the USB's and tried again, and now there is nothing listed in the destination dropdown.

 

Searching the net there were some articles talking about a restore button that should be in the web UI of the server... I don't see it. I can't even find the file that some people referenced changing a setting in "urbackupclient" 

 

I was able to do a windows restore and keep my files, so I have a partially working laptop. I reinstalled the client so I can try stuff now, but I just can't seem to get a restore started. Any ideas?

 

 

when I click on the listed backup from the web ui, all it gives me is image backup information.

. I created the Restore CD

what version is the restore CD?, i see from the Restore CD changelog some mention about fixes to the restore images process:-

https://www.urbackup.org/restore_changelog.html

 

link to latest:- https://hndl.urbackup.org/Restore/urbackup_restore_2.4.2.iso

[Lonewolf147]

2.4.2. Just downloaded today to do this.

Could be that the drive in the machine is set to operate in a mode e.g. Intel RAID that the restore CD doesn't support... Might be able to change it in the BIOS.

I'll check that and report back...

 

 

EDIT:  That did the trick. BIOS had the drive set to RAID. Disabled that (wouldn't let me boot back into Windows of course) and the when I booted the Reatore CD the drive showed up and I'm currently watching it restore!

you MAY need to switch it back to RAID once the restore is complete.

[Kilrah]

Yep, Windows will likely not boot again until you switch.

If you want to get back to AHCI use msconfig to tell Windows to boot to safe mode, change to AHCI, start Windows (it'll boot fine in safe mode and learn about the new drive mode), disable safe mode again and reboot, should be fine then.

Thank you all!

Latest working fine here. Maybe post your docker run?

Here you go, think its all default though.

 6.8.3, so way old!

That's probably the issue.

[JoergH]

Hi,

I am new to Unraid and especially to Docker etc.

I wanted to setup UrBackup and set the path where to put the backupfiles but I always get an error due to the wrong path.

I want to write the files not to the NVME Disc but to my array. What do I need to put in there?

[Kilrah]

Path must stay at /media in urbackup and you map that to where you want in the template.
