I have no idea if this is the right place, but here goes.

I'm using luckybackup and I just realised I've never run a backup verification. In other programs I always had to do that. I looked in the GUI and there's no such option. It's also not mentioned on the website of luckybackup or in the manual. Is it not a thing with luckybackup?

luckyBackup is just a fancy GUI for rsync.

When you start a backup task in rsync it compares all the files from the source with the target and when files in the source don't match the files in the target then it updates/replaces those files.

You can do a dry run but that is just for displaying what files changed. How would you like to verify the backup then? Issue with all of that is that this is just a 1:1 copy from the source and there are no checksums or parity data or anything since this is just a simple 1:1 copy.

I hope it is Okay when I post my problems here.....

Hello,

I back up my data from my Unraid server to my NAS using LuckyBackup. 
The backup works fine on a schedule.

However, I haven't received an email notification for the past three days after the backup is complete.

It worked perfectly before.

I've attached a screenshot of my settings. I would be very grateful if you could help me.

I haven't found anything helpful online.

The LuckyBackup Docker container is from ich777 and is the latest updated version.

Thank you very much, best regards

good morning,

have a question for dirsyncpro.

i have been running this docker for the past 5 years on and off. recently i had to rebuild my system, all fine, though strangely i cant seem to connect over webdav or ftp to my online storage i use for offsite backup

i add webdav, https://account.domain.com/remote.php/webdav/ and the password, but it keeps erroring out saying it cant connect.

i triedf with duplicati, where it also fails until i check 'use ssl'

is there such an option in dirsyncpro?

omline cloud is stack from transip.

thank in advxacne!

Seems that this is an authentication issue, I heard from other people who where using GMX had issues, didn't they change something fairly recently so that you need to use app passwords?

I assume that this is connected to these changes, however the issue is definitely the authentication, nothing changed in terms of the container in the last few months.

Usually the container tries to mount the remote regardless if you use webdav or webdavs

Are you sure that your certificate is up to date?

Please try to open a container terminal and do the following:

su $USER
sudo mount -t davfs -o noexec,username=<REMOTEUSERNAME>,rw,uid=99,gid=100 <YOURURL> /tmp/webdav/

and see what the output is?
You have to of course replace REMOTEUSERNAME with the user name and YOURURL with the URL from the target.

So, it is necessary to create an app password!

Or do you have an email provider that works without an app password?

I already thought that it was my pi hole blocking something.

Thank you for your efforts.

Maybe, I just heard that GMX uses now also app passwords.

I'm really not sure, Google and Apple definitely use app passwords.

How do I check this? FYI the cloud provider has a tool to download and an ftp UI where login works normally.

You have to of course replace REMOTEUSERNAME with the user name and YOURURL with the URL from the target.

The storage provider allows 2 addresses, when hosting there too. There is an ftp.domain.com/webdav/files/ address which i tried. This asks for a password but then errors with:

bash: REMOTEUSERNAME: No such file or directory

The ‚original‘ address when not hosting is username.stackstorage.com/remote.php/webdav/

This shows the same result.

Maybe i need to specify the path of the URL more after /webdav/files/…?

I asked the provider and they mentioned the addresses are fine and concludes the docker might have a wrong setting.

Sidenote:

I am having some difficulties with editing in the console, not sure if that is known or depending on me using an iPad. Jumping forward and backward with ctl+arrow results in some visual bug where text gets duplicated. Ofcourse not part of my problem, but figure i can report :)

I understand that, but shouldn't I periodically check to see if any of the data on the backup has degraded? I remember with Synology Backup I had a task setup to periodically check the backup integrity.

I think you don't understand, each time you trigger a backup, every file is scanned for changes (including the already backuped ones, if a file changed on the source the whole file or a part of it will be replaced/updated.

This was probably some kind of archive but here it is just a 1:1 copy from the source.

One question—perhaps it has already been asked here, but I couldn't find it. My apologies if I am repeating it.

How do you update “RustDeskServer-AiO”? Is it automatic? (I don't think so, because I have never received such a request.)

Thank you for all your help and comments

😄

Yes it is automatic but I really don't know why you would have an update? 🤔
There was no update from RustDeskServer-AiO because RustDesk never released an update since January 25th 2025 and therefore no update was published.

Thank you for your message. Perhaps I am confused because of the (current) version 1.4.4 of the software to be installed on the computer?

I am very sorry for disturbing you here. I am relieved to hear that if there is an update, it will be offered directly in UNRAID as with all other items, phew.

Thank you again. 👍

Most certainly, if you want to see the most recent release from the server:

Thanks for the link 👍

Hello,

I don't understand?

I set it up with GMX and an app password.

I clicked on Test and it worked!

Then it worked again when the backup was completed.

That was it, but on the second day it stopped working.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards!

How many days where in between the backups, or was it really the second day?

That doesn't mean you do anything wrong, however maybe use another Mail provider, usually this has something to do with the provider, I can only assume that app passwords for GMX are not forever.

I am having problems with Krusader not being able to delete appdata folders, delete a folder from my media share, or even copy files from my data share to a remote share. I changed from binhex krusader to ich777's to get a smaller image size and really like the way it implements autosizing windows so I'd like to keep this version.

When I try to delete a folder, or copy a file etc, nothing happens, no error, nothing.

I tried to figure out why the binhex version worked but this one doesn't. Only thing I could see is in the template for this there's a "Run as root"" option I've left at false, and in the binhex version it includes Variable PUID, PGID, and UMASK settings that this one doesn't. Should I change run as root to true? I've left it as false to protect myself from myself, unless I know what something does and why I try not to mess with things. Adding PUID, PGID, and UMASK also seems like a stupid thing to do if I don't know what I'm doing.

Hoping somebody can help. I'm dummy, so don't hesitate to overexplain or start at the simplest thing if you want.

Yes, this should solve your issues.

Nothing to worry, this is also true in my container at the Show more sections but I use slightly other keys: UID, GID and UMASK.

Hello, I have now managed to get the email to send and have entered everything according to the instructions in Arguments.

Now, when I click on Test, it sends the email. That's great.

I then ran a backup and was very proud that it worked with the email.

Unfortunately, it doesn't send it automatically when the backup is finished.

What else have I done wrong?

I'm slowly losing heart.

Have you yet tried to click test again after the backup is finished?

Does that still work?

Can you please send some screenshots how you configured the mail notifications?

This is my setting for sending emails after a backup job.

But as I already wrote, it doesn't work.

I would be very grateful for any helpful answers.

Best regards

This is the message that appears after the automatic backup has been completed.

I clicked the test button for this.

And the Test Emails go through correct?

Please try the following:

1. Open up a Terminal from the container (by clicking on the container icon within Unraid and click Terminal)

2. Enter: su $USER

3. Enter: sendemail -f "<YOUREMAILADDRESS>" -t "<RECEIVINGMAILADDRESS>" -u "luckyBackup report" -m "THIS IS A TEST" -s "mail.gmx.net:587" -xu <YOUREMAILADDRESS> -xp <YOURPASSWORD>

Obviously you have to replace all things wrapped in <> and including <>

When the Mail goes through and you see something like:
endemail[140]: Email was sent successfully!

then it should work through luckyBackup too, however what you can try is that you don't include the log file since it can get pretty big and therefore some mail servers will not send the message, you simply do that by removing -a %l

BTW: You also don't have to include the -o parameter usually because sendemail defaults to auto which is basically yes.

I would be grateful if you answer the questions since I try to diagnose your issue since you also have to take into consideration that you haven't even posted how you configured sendemail in luckyBackup until your last post after I asked for scrrenshots and just came here and said that it doesn't work. :D

Please keep calm, just trying to diagnose.

I did that via the LuckyBackup console as you described. So, Unraid GUI, then right-click on the LuckyBackup icon, then on Terminal.

An error message appears here.

But not on the next screen?

Why is that?

***removed***

This was sent by. I have -a %l deledet.

And in the GUI of LUCKYBACKUP

Here, I deleted the -o command.

That's when this error message appeared.

The two images that follow belong together.

***removed***

This is the same Window in the middle when I scroll down

I don't understand.

It started when he stopped using the password.

Apparently, this can be done via the LuckyBackup GUI itself.

The command in the LuckyBackup terminal does not work.

I don't understand that.

But I'm no expert.

Please help me.
