Duplicati temp dup-xxxx files not being deleted

Fixed:

It was the files prior to encryption that were not correctly removed.

Version 2.0.3.8 canary has been release which includes the fix mentioned above.

If you currently have this issue and are interested in testing, please update to 2.0.3.8 and let us know if it solves the problem. Thanks!

Note that I believe this fix will correctly clean up temp files moving forward, I donā€™t think it will clean up old onesā€¦

Hello,

Because my system cannot use the precompiled assemblies, Iā€™m using a self compiled version of Duplicati from vanillas 2.0.3.6 sources.
I had the same issue where the /tmp folder would get filled up, and so I applied that patch to my sources.
I can say that this fixes the issue nicely, the temp files are now cleared properly.

Not fixed for me :frowning:
Temp folder full of temp files and consuming large portion of that drive.
There should be some cleaning routing at end of job.
Running 2.0.3.10_canary_2018-08-30

For those affected, add after backup batch file with this content:
del %tmp%\dup-???-???-???-???-???

It cleans leftovers.

Not fixed for me on 2.0.3.11_canary_2018-09-05 on Windows 10, although possibly itā€™s better now (canā€™t say).
Here, the leftovers from the daily backup (based on timestamp of leftover tmp files) have only appeared today which happens to be when Duplicati decided to compact. Maybe backup is fixed, but compact still has issues?

Iā€™ll see if I can remember to test a 2.0.3.11 ok Windows compact with before/after temp file count checks.

2.0.3.11_canary_2018-09-05 is probably fixed on Linux. Iā€™m not using /tmp/ but alternate path, which only used by Duplicati. Iā€™ve got dup-* files in the path for several months, but not any recent files since Iā€™ve upgraded the version.

For me it seems to be still an issue on 2.0.3.11 under linux.

@ts678ā€™s left over files on Windows seem to have been generated as part of the compact process (at least based on timestamps).

Can you tell if your temp file times align with the compacting step in your logs?

Itā€™s possible there were multiple temp cleanup bugs and only the main one was addressedā€¦

Compact process indeed seems not to remove the newly created dblock/dindex files. My /tmp folder has filled up completely (21G) as part of a (big) compact operation.

What version were you using and was it native or in Docker container?

native, experimental release of last week

This is probably a stupid question, but did running out of space kill the compact or did it finish?

I wonder if the cleanup happens at the very end so if the task is interrupted it never gets cleaned up.

compact never finished (process got killed due to disk space issues IIRC)

Running another compact from dblock size 25mb to 1gb and see the same effect. A cronjob to remove old tmp files seems to work as a workaround.

I didnā€™t want to use a cron job since Iā€™ve got backups running throughout the day (sometimes delayed if a lot of files change or something goes wrong) and I didnā€™t want the removal to cause problems with any running backup operations, so I set up a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
rm /mnt/ramdisk/*
exit

and I just call /usr/local/bin/clear-ramdisk.sh with the ā€œrun-script-afterā€ option after my backups.

Just noticed this as well on 2.0.4.5_beta_2018-11-28, linux native (Fedora 29)ā€¦ no disk filling and no job failure, just /tmp/dup-* files left behind. Donā€™t think it happened on the previous beta.

Sorry to bring up an oldish thread, but Iā€™m seeing the same thing with all my Windows installations of 2.0.4.10_canary_2018-12-29 - I moved the temp folder to another drive to avoid it ever crashing the system drive, but the files just continue to accumulate. Most are just 1Kb, but every week a bunch of 50Mb files get left.

As a test I deleted some that were over 7 days old and the next backup did throw a warning about missing temporary files:
