Welcome to the forum @Hirlinger

Thanks! And thanks a lot for looking into this post!

The DB is never uploaded. It’s a local cache of information from the backup at destination.

I meant the file “…dlist.zip.aes”

@ts678

Got a URL? I can guess, but it’s better to know what you did and maybe what the goal was.
Are you trying to reduce uploads? How important are the older source file versions to you?

“No filelist found on the remote destination”

Hi, I had a similar problem. All of my backups to AWS S3 were working fine except for one that kept failing with "No filelist found on the remote destination”. Here is what I think happened and how I managed to resolve the problem: I started the backup. After it finished, the *.dlist.zip.aes file was missing at the destination.

Depending on what you did, you might have deleted prior file information so they all look new.
How about clarifying via URL, link button, or description what you’ve been doing in this?

I just deleted the local database (gui advances → maintanance → delte). The dlist file never seemed to be on the server side due to the error after having uploaded the whole backup.

Can you elaborate on “clarifying via URL”? Is there a special log technique?

@ts678

Be careful how you stop. Best is the stop button, then “Stop after current file”, not “Stop now”.

Thanks, I will keep this in mind. Did so this time…
