Fix damaged repo

mrzv · July 29, 2018, 3:18pm

A backup was interrupted and left my repo in a damaged state. When I try to list snapshots, I get the following output:

This would be Ok, except that backup doesn’t actually work:

Is there a way to fix the repo, so I can continue backing up into it, without having to delete it and restart from scratch?

I’m facing this same issue…

This happens for check, snapshots , restore, etc…

Is there a way to fix the repo, so I can continue backing up into it, without having to delete it and restart from scratch?

mrzv · January 27, 2020, 1:04am

Unfortunately, I don’t remember how I fixed it. I think I deleted the offending files, but whether I removed them from cache or from the repo itself, I don’t remember.

cdhowie · January 27, 2020, 4:39pm

This indicates that the snapshot file exists but apparently was not fully written. Delete the file snapshot/d7efe02e72... from your repository to correct this issue.

mrzv · January 27, 2020, 5:22pm

@cdhowie Thanks. I fixed this problem not long after I posted the original message (a year and a half ago). Do you have suggestions how @Cardosaum could fix their problem?

cdhowie · January 27, 2020, 6:01pm

What backend are you using? It looks like it is returning a file list that contains files that don’t actually exist.

Cardosaum · January 27, 2020, 7:05pm

I’m using as a backend local and sftp to backup my files in an external hard drive and local server, respectively.

paying more attention, I realized that my problem is not the same one mentioned by @mrzv at the beginning of the thread. I apologize for the mistake.

Maybe it would be better to start a new thread?

cdhowie · January 27, 2020, 8:04pm

Can you look at /home/restic/snapshots/0000295a693d6e54e6f4384aa4a221b13d9af9361143e22622cd4ed7df60dc72 and see if it exists? Is it a dangling symlink?

Cardosaum · January 28, 2020, 4:53pm

Inside snapshots directory:

$ ls -lah data/00/0000295a693d6e54e6f4384aa4a221b13d9af9361143e22622cd4ed7df60dc72

I was trying to figure out what happened with this repository and I think I found the problem.

The computer that created the repository is running a different version of restic…
Computer A:

$ restic version
restic 0.8.3
compiled with go1.10 on linux/amd64

In the other hand, the server is running a more recent version:
Computer B:

 $ restic version
restic 0.9.6 compiled with go1.13.4 on linux/amd64

So, in the end, I do can open the repository and operate all things normally, but only from Computer A.

So, for now, I have the following questions:

Is indeed some sort of incompatibility between this two versions?
What can I do to operate the repository from a computer running newer versions of the program?

This looks a hell of a lot more like the repository was rsync’d from one system to another but the source and/or destination were not correct. The snapshots directory should not contain a data directory. These directories should be siblings under the repository root.

Basically, it looks like somewhere along the line some of the repository’s data got moved around where it shouldn’t be.

The repository format has not changed between 0.8.3 and 0.9.6 that I’m aware of… definitely not in a backwards-incompatible way. This looks like damage caused by something other than restic.

Yeah…

It seems you’re right!

I used rsync to copy files from the external hard drive to the server. I think I ran a wrong command and ended up messing up some things…

I changed the “data” to the parent directory and now everything’s fine.

Thank you so much for the help!
