Ghost Backup job keeps failing

olivierlambert

Backup jobs are local to your XO instance, so that's normal You have to see if you can reproduce with an up to date XOA, so we can discover if it's a bug specific on a commit before or after yours (or simply an environment issue)

@olivierlambert Oh. I have absolutely no idea how to reproduce this. It's happening automatically.

nuentes

@olivierlambert I am now on c2eb6, and not seeing any change. My container updated last night at 10PM, and a new failed ghost snapshot occurred at 5AM this morning.

Again, you can see in my screenshots above, the ID is 44d4, which is not an ID that I have available in my list of backup jobs.

olivierlambert

Adding @florent in the loop. It's not clear to me

florent

@nuentes hi , I am looking into a way to really purge this job. I will keep you informed

florent

@nuentes can you go to the xo-server directory and launch the command
./db-cli.mjs ls job and ./db-cli.mjs ls schedule then paste me the results ?

nuentes

@florent I've pulled up the console for xcp-ng, but I can't figure out how to change paths. The cd and ls commands don't work at all, and I'm struggling to find this in the documentation.

olivierlambert

This is a command to run inside your Xen Orchestra

nuentes

@olivierlambert @florent Whoops. Yes, ok. In the CLI for my docker container. It seems I didn't need to be in the xo-server folder, I needed to be in the dist subfolder. But here are my results

@nuentes the job { id: '886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef', mode: 'full' } seems broken

can you open the url http://YOURDOMAIN/#/backup/886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef/edit and save it ?

nuentes

@florent said in Ghost Backup job keeps failing:

/#/backup/886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef/edit

I'm heading on vacation, so you can think on it for another week!

nuentes

@florent I'm back from my vacation. Any update on this? Much appreciated.

nuentes

@florent any update? This job is still appearing regularly, and I'd love to get it purged.

florent

@nuentes in your xo-serve/dist folder, can you try

./db-cli.mjs repl
job.get('886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef')
job.remove('886244d4-6ec3-4d76-90b1-aafb7ce2eaef`')

job.get() #here the problematic job shoulw not appears

then restart xo-server

Also, can you check if there is any linked schedule
./db-cli.mjs ls schedule

nuentes

@florent thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, I bring only bad news.

You can see the job still exists. I restarted xo-server after this point, and still see the job when I run

./db-cli.mjs ls job

nuentes

@florent any other ideas in order to resolve this?
