Exclude List not updated

Guido     Mar 23 10:04AM 2017 GUI

Hi

I'm testing duplicacy for our 3rd Level Backup @backblaze, It runs good with my initial setup (app. 2TB of data) now i want to include my main storage (30TB), which was excluded beforhand.

But duplicacy seems to ignore the updated exclude-list.

How can i force duplicacy to update the list?

cheers Guido


gchen    Mar 23 11:06AM 2017

The include/exclude patterns are stored in a file named filters under the .duplicacy directory (which is under the repository directory). Does the content match the list shown in the Repository Setup dialog?


Guido    Mar 27 4:20AM 2017

Hi

Thank you for your comment, i checked the filters file, it reflects the settings in the gui.

I made some tests adding and removing the line in the gui. the file .duplicacy/filters reflects the entry all the time.

But i am not able to duplicate the (formerly excluded) folder +Kunden/

I also tried to include it (+folder/) with no better result.

Would it help to delete the whole .duplicacy - folder and start from scratch?


gchen    Mar 27 10:38AM 2017

Can you post here the content of the filters file? I suspect that there is another pattern that excludes the Kunden directory.


Guido    Mar 28 10:29AM 2017

Ok,

I deleted the content of the folder, an rebuild the Filters but "unden" Folder still excluded Here is the listing, the filter and the log: (The Folder Kunden, has the name "XyZ Kunden" with a Space, but "services Kunden" has also a Space, so I thought it doesn't matter )

What did you mean by 'The Folder Kunden, has the name "XyZ Kunden" with a Space'?

It doesn't look like a permission issue, but was there a log message saying it complained about not being able to list the Kunden folder?


Guido    Mar 29 3:11AM 2017

What did you mean by 'The Folder Kunden, has the name "XyZ Kunden" with a Space'?

Ignore it, the name listed is different, then what we use in reality, due to privacy reasons.

And no there was no complain. in the log

(I re-formatted your post for better reading.)

I uploaded a temporary build 1.2.2 with more verbose logging. Specifically, there will be a log message when a directory is being excluded, or listed. Hopefully with this version you'll know what happens to that directory.


Guido    Mar 30 4:29AM 2017

Hi gchen,

Thank you for this bild. Here the complete Output, I'm still missing a hint, why the "XyZ Kunden" is excluded.

Sorry for the mis-format, of the text, I havent fount the code-Tag !? Another Try ;)

The Log changed from DEBUG LIST ENTRIES to Listing!


gchen    Mar 31 6:18AM 2017

The backup command crashed however the GUI didn't catch the error. Can you run the Duplicacy command line executable in Terminal to see what the error is? The duplicacy command line executable is usually under /Applications/Duplicacy.app/Contents/Resources, unless you installed Duplicacy in a different directory.

Change to your repository directory and then run the command as follows:

cd /Volumes/BackUp
/Applications/Duplicacy.app/Contents/Resources/duplicacy_osx_x64_1.2.0 --log -v backup

Killed 9?

Not being able to catch the kill signal is a bug in the GUI version, but I guess the reason why the CLI version was killed was that it ran out of memory. How many files do you know are under /Volumes/BackUp?

4'500'000 items. 40 TB ist this size to big?


gchen    Apr 3 1:11PM 2017

The total size of the files doesn't matter as much as the number of files, because the entire repository tree has to be loaded into memory for processing. A repository containing 4.5 millions isn't enormously large, but the current version has a flaw that it also loads all extended attributes when indexing the repository, and this may cause it to run out of memory.

I uploaded a new build 1.2.2 which doesn't load all extended attributes into memory. The bug where a killed process isn't reported has also been fixed in this new build. Please try it to see if this one works better.

Thanks for your effort.

Unfortunately, the backup does not finish his task:

Can you make sure that you closed Duplicacy before reinstalling it? Otherwise you would be still running the previous instance. I'm pretty sure the bug that caused the kill signal not to be reported had been fixed. Running from the command line would be a better option.

If you can find a log line saying 'Discarding file attributes' then you're running the latest build.

Also, if you're limiting the upload speed to 7500KB/s then perhaps 4 or 8 threads are enough. In my tests a single thread is capable of uploading at 2MB/s at least.


Guido    Apr 4 8:53AM 2017

Yep, just found out, that the App wasn't properly upgraded, starting the Test again right now.


Guido    Apr 5 2:11AM 2017

It now seems to work.

Thanks for your help.

I'll give final feedback after the Job is done. But it will take a while.
