Load(<data/fc655a3546>, 591, 7463036) returned error -- can I recover from this?

Hi all,

I recently setup a backup for ~600GB of data with restic and rclone to my OneDrive. As this was my first time using this toolstack, I uploaded the data in increments to see what is happening:

restic backup --verbose /path/to/folder/a

then

restic backup --verbose /path/to/folder/a /path/to/folder/b

Once I figured this works well, I changed the path to

restic backup --verbose /path/to/folder/

and let the machine upload all the rest of the data. Yesterday, close to the end of the initial upload, my Internet connection got a bit flaky and the connection might have dropped once. However, the upload succeeded without any warnings that sounded critical.

I checked the snapshots and decided to prune all but the last snapshot and to check the backup

restic forget --keep-last 1 --prune
restic check

I get quite numerous erros like

Will this be fixed once the operation has finished or is this something you cannot recover from?

Thanks for answers.

These errors are for a different file each time and they don’t recur for the same file by the looks of it. Seems like the server is returning a 404 error on the first request but then has the file on the second request. I would say it’s nothing worth worrying about, particularly if restic check reports success (even if there are transient errors like this).

Yeah, you are most probably right. After all these errors (my connection even crashed once) I got a “success” in the end. I re-run the check now and see what happens. Thanks.

That looks not healthy:

And yes: the repo is dead: Fatal: repository contains errors. sigh

I’m not sure I’d store my repo on OneDrive given that it has limitations like the ones you’re experiencing.

Can you browse the contents of the OneDrive and verify that those pack files are really missing?
