Restic backup rrror: "Device or Resource Busy" when backing up a btrfs snapshot from NAS

Hi,
I’m using restic as my main backup tool and I think it is amazing and I want to thanks the people who built it.

I have a synology NAS and I use the snapshot replication tool to do daily snapshots of my docker folder.
I run a script (see details below) on my main workstation to make a restic backup of the latest snapshot on a spare hard disk.

It worked and never had issues, but since last week I’m having issues. At first I thought it was an issue with my external hard disk or cable, but even with another internal disk or different cables I still have the issue.

I’m following the forum instructions to ask for an help request, and available to share other info/log if needed.

Thanks.

Fabio

The output of restic version.

➜  ~ restic version                                    
restic 0.17.1 compiled with go1.23.1 on linux/amd64

The complete commands that you ran (leading up to the problem or to reproduce the problem).

#!/bin/bash

# Path of  snapshots
snapshot_folder="/mnt/magnum/docker/#snapshot/"
restic_folder="/volumes/restic/magnum-docker"

# Find the latest snapshot
latest_subfolder=$(ls -d "$snapshot_folder"*/ | tail -1)
latest_subfolder_name=$(basename "$latest_subfolder")
latest_snapshot="$latest_subfolder_name"

echo "Backing up the most recent snapshot $latest_snapshot on $restic_folder"

restic -r $restic_folder --verbose backup --exclude .Trash $snapshot_folder$latest_snapshot

Any environment variables relevant to those commands (including their values, of course).

➜  ~ echo $RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE 
.password/restic-credentials

The complete output of those commands (except any repeated output when obvious it’s not needed for debugging).
