Keep not working with S3 about backup

[borgand]

I'm seeing this myself also, both S3 and Local store options.
It used to work on my old setup, but stopped after moving to Dockerised setup, so perhaps there's something with containers that I'm missing?
Some state file or something?

I'm running it via

docker-compose run --rm backup /bin/bash -c '/usr/local/bundle/bin/backup perform -t my_model --config-file /backup/model.rb'

The backup container is running ruby-2.6

I had a similar problem.
For me, it was because Backup's persistent information didn't match with the actual backup data in S3.

Here's how Backup's Cycler works

1. When Backup's Cycler is used, small YAML files are stored in data_path.
2. And it removes outdated backup data based on that information.

So if the outdated backup data is somehow missing in the persistent information it will never be deleted.

How to solve

You have to match the persistent information to the actual backup data.
I just deleted all backup data and the persistent information.

The location of the data_path can be configured in config.rb. The default is <root_path>/.data.
For S3 backups, it would be <root_path>/.data/<backup_name>/S3.yml.

I don't have much time to dig into these kind of issues. You'll have to send a PR

Are you using different storage ids (such as daily/weekly/monthly)?

If so, you need to specify the storage_id in the store_with method such as:

store_with S3, storage_id do |sftp| .... end
