I’m backing up NextCloud on StartOS 0.4.0 beta 8. The NextCloud directory is around 100GB. The backup has been running for 24 hours and hasn’t finished.
This is a backup to a newly formatted EXT4 external SSD. Other services completed backups to the drive pretty quickly. NextCloud backed up fairly quickly on 0.3
Is this a known 0.4.0 issue or something else going on?
There’s often some confusion about how backups work. When you make a backup for the very first time, the entirety of contents of the various service volumes that require it are encrypted and copied. This takes a long time. Subsequent backups may take as little as a few seconds since they only copy the changes since the last backup. Presumably that’s what you’ve been doing with 0351. Unless you for some reason delete you entire previous backup before backing up each time?
Thanks. I’ve tried a few times now but the backups aren’t completing.
They run for a day or two and then fail with this error. I’ve tried turning off all services except nextcloud but still have the same issue.
Other services (Jellyfin, Vaultwarden etc) back up without issue

Still USB drive? Odd for the USB drive to simply stop responding and interrupt the process. We’re working on improvements to the process, but it’s also worth pointing out that you’re one beta behind. I think Beta9 included slight improvements.
