Backup job in duplicati doesn't work

Support
1

My new created backup job in Duplicati is not running.

When I click on “Test Connection” in Duplicati I get a message telling me “Connection worked!”

However, when I click on “Run now”, the job starts execution and then stops without any error or message.

In the browser dev tools I can see:
angular.js:10514 GET http://192.168.100.24:8200/api/v1/progressstate 404 (Not Found)

AND

angular.js:10514 POST http://192.168.100.24:8200/api/v1/backup/8/run 401 (Unauthorized)

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I have followed the instructions on Guide to Integrating Duplicati for Optimized Backups - Storj Docs

I am using version 2.1.0.5_stable_2025-03-04 in a docker container on ZimaOS.

Welcome to the forum @cfis72

The dev could likely give a better guess, but did you set up the GUI password in Docker?

Duplicati Access Password

Managing secrets in Docker

Supplying environment variables

I’m looking mostly at the 401 (Unauthorized), though it’s odd that so much else is allowed.

I’m also hoping you don’t have any sort of network proxy that might be interfering with this.

So acting like a hang? Do you have timestamps on dev tools relative to the time of stop?

You can add log-file advanced option at some log-file-log-level to see progress. Information or Retry would be good for starters, but there are also very detailed ones.

About → Show log → Live → <level> may also help if it doesn’t fail due to network issues.

What Duplicati version? What type of backup Destination? Sometimes these may also fail.

Did your backup run for long enough to get some uploads, or not run long enough for any?

There is a BackendTester which you can use with URL of an empty folder for better tests.
