Title: Affa backup configuration
Post by: morpheus on August 07, 2017, 08:35:51 AM

I have a sme-server 9.*, with usb 1TB removable drive used for backup. I want to be able to store at most last 1 days backups, no weekly/monthly/yearly.

The following are the settings i have

[prodbox]
remoteHostName=localhost
Watchdog=yes
Description=jjsme backup
status=enabled
Debug=no
TimeSchedule=2230
localNice=15
rsync--inplace=yes
scheduledKeep=1
dailyKeep=1
weeklyKeep=0
monthlyKeep=0
yearlyKeep=0
RootDir=/mnt/affadevice


After three or days, the 1TB is full creating errors. What settings should i have?

Hello,
Can you post result of :
affa --list-archives prodbox   #?

You don't show GlobalConfiguration.cfg : have you verified its properties don't crash prodbox.cfg ?

Bye

Add the line

Code: [Select]

chattyOnSuccess=100 to you affa config.

This sends an email to admin which should give you an indication of the backup success or failure and a hint at what is going wrong.

You should also look in the affa log in /var/logs/affa - they will show you what is happening step by step as affa runs.

I use the "mc" program to look at the content of files, and to edit them, Very useful.

Good luck
Ian

You need to tell us how much data is on your main drive ie
df -h

Also you could set
scheduledKeep=0
to only keep the one daily backup

Also show us the content (by directory listing) of data on your USB drive, ie mount the USB manually & do
df -h
& then cd to each folder & do the same.
