Does the sync work when you run it manually?

yes, without any errors

Try to delete the schedules, press Cron it, after that create the jobs again and then press cron it again.

 

I'm always running the cron jobs through User scripts on the Unraid host.

I recently updated my Unraid server to 7.0.1 from 6.12.15 and it was pretty smooth.  Only issue so far that I have run into is that the unluckyBackup will not start at all.   It says Execution Error/Server Error.

This is from the execution log:

-l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman
  -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:8080]/vnc.html?autoconnect=true'
  -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/docker-templates/master/ich777/images/luckybackup.png'
  -p '8080:8080/tcp'
  -v '/mnt/cache/appdata/luckybackup/':'/luckybackup':'rw'
  -v '/mnt':'/mnt/user':'rw'
  --restart=unless-stopped 'ich777/luckybackup'

docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint luckyBackup (a8b5d6d0e242809de38050da71faeab805e456795961413ff5c49cc51a7be4ec): Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated.

I tried digging through the forum here but did not find anything that helps.

I know 7.0 introduced new things and it sounds like that might be the issue since it appears others are running it.  I really rely on this to back-up stuff from my other NAS I have.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction to get things working again?  I am a bit of an Unraid newb but learning. 

 

 

Edit:  Turns out I had installed Immich and it was using the same web port (8080).  I am back in business it appears.  It is safe to change this to another port?

Yes.

I'm running latest nzbhydra2, and just noticed it's using a huge amount of data in appdata. It looks like between my 13th Feb and 21st Feb backups the db file (nzbhydra.mv.db) grew from 30MB to 10GB, where it's stayed to this day.

 

Why would this file be so big, and is there any way to limit the number of backups to mitigate its impact? Thanks!

 

Edit: Actually now at 23GB.

This always depends on your configuration indexers, caching settings and so on.

You can of course delete the backup files (I would recommend that you leave at least one backup in place.

 

However to shrink down your Database, since I assume it must be huge, you can do this.

 

This is actually NZBHydra2 related and I would recommend to report that here in the official Issue tracker from NZBHydra2, however there are already reports about that for example here.

Thanks, I actually just shut it down, deleted the db file, and restarted. I don't really need all the history anyway and it reloads the config from the yml.

 

The yml file is configured to perform a backup once a week and delete after a week, but seems to keep 14+ so the delete parameter isn't working. 🤷 I'll keep an eye on it! 😏

Guys, is It any way to have 2 steam accounts setup for a pre-fill?

I found on lancache website this is possible, but no idea what changes need to be done in lancache prefill or if this is even possible or I need 1 more lancache prefill container running?

Ok, I figured out, just copied steamprefill folder and delete all in config folder

Hello, since several months I noticed that cron jobs not working. Therefore I did it by do it manually by pressing the run button but now I wanted to try to solve this issue. Anyone with the same issue or a helping hand?

I assume you are talking about luckyBackup correct?

Please provide more information on that, did you made sure to enable console mode when clicking Cron IT?

Hey @ich777, sorry I've not mentiond it but you identified it :)

There is nothing in the logs when I cron it. This is the only thing I see:

WebSocket server settings:

- Listen on :8080

- Web server. Web root: /usr/share/novnc

- No SSL/TLS support (no cert file)

- Backgrounding (daemon)

This is just normal since luckyBackup is just a frontend for rsync and it was never designed for a Docker container, however the logs should fill when you restart the container after a cron job was executed, this is a known issue.

Another question, do you have CA Backup installed if yes, please keep in mind that by default the containers are stopped to create a backup and if that time overlaps with your backup schedule that might cause the issue.

I assume the container is running when you have set to execute the schedule correct?

LUCKY BACKUP: "Do NOT create extra directory" seems quite self explanatory...till it doesn't do what it seems to indicate! when NOT checked, it ONLY creates the folder, not the files within.................................... when checked, it puts the files in, but not in the folder (as expected i guess). HOW TF can i make this create the folders AND include the data (and subfolders) within that said folder?

Furthermore, it would stand to reason, if i set the source as "/mnt/user", and excluded the shares that i did NOT want to include (appdata, docker, movies, etc), everything, not excluded, would back up from the user folder, besides the folders i excluded of course; but this does not happen! Some shares are just ignored and left empty (if the folder is even created)! Maybe i'm dum as a stump and cant understand simple concepts, but i have tried to follow all guides etc and gotten nowhere but angry. (I have also created raw rsync scripts and manually run them in attempts to mirror what LBU is doing, and they work fine...once.)

(Anyone know a user friendly, gui driven, self hosted backup docker?)

This just means that it creates a extra directory in the sync directory which is named after the task.

Do you have this option enabled or disabled:

How did you do that? Is that probably related to the exclusion of the files?

However I would recommend that you just create a sync for each share with that you have more granular control what data you want to sync.

This always depends on how it's configured but without any screenshots/further information it is really hard to say why this all is happening.

Please always keep in mind that luckyBackup is just a GUI for rsync in the background it runs simple plain rsync if you want you even can show the rsync command by clicking Validate in the various share settings.

From another post I saw you have issues deleting a dataset, so I assume you are using ZFS correct?

Sorry, can't help with that, that's why I created this container, maybe someone else has another idea.

I get that...and it does, but it doesn't include the files when that is checked?!?!?!

Enabled; "True". The container setting for "Shares" is set to "/mnt"; the source, within LBU, is set to "/mnt/user"; destination is set to a pool via "/mnt/user/onsitebu/".

This are backups, not syncs (onsite and later an offsite component; 2 separate profiles; i am focusing on the onsite for sake of argument here.). I am only excluding the shares that i do not want (ie. appdata, docker, etc, and the wildcard of ".Recycle.Bin"; but even without that wildcard, things are not operating as it seems to be setup). I would rather have it set up this way, so that if I, or others, add a share down the road, i don't have to remember to add a new entry to the backup. It would be ideal to always back up everything, besides the shares i tell it not to. I have ensured there is plenty of space in the backup server(s) for this.

What screens do you need to see?

Its a mixture of ZFS, and BTRFS exclusive pools, and pool supported array (XFS) based shares, (writes to pool, then mover moves to array for storage every night), that need to be backed up on a regular basis. Pools are simple ZFS, but i have had the same issues before i converted them from BTRFS (since unRAID 7 made ZFS tools work properly).

Thanks for helping me here. I will be donating to you if you have a link to such in your profile. I am sure I am missing something obvious (for a seasoned Linux user).

Sorry, I maybe wasn't clear enough. You wont see anything in the container log, after a cronjob is finished you have to restart the container and then you have to open the logs in the WebUI from luckyBackup and there you will see the log from the executed cron job but as said only after a restart from the container.

Did you enable console mode as described in the Description from the container for the cron job?

cool
