Failed to decrypt data (invalid passphrase?): Message has been altered, do not trust content

Failed to decrypt data (invalid passphrase?): Message has been altered, do not trust content

occurs after running backup. have rebuilt db. this backs up to a Truenas server via FTP with compression and dedup enable.

I also just fixed an issue with my server’s FTP, but the issue persists.

Hello

Just means that Duplicati is unable to parse something that it has written before. It could be a hardware problem of course.
About the question of a possible relationship with your ‘fix’ - whatever it is, when you say that you ‘fixed an issue’ with the Ftp server, does it mean that you wiped out your backup after ‘fixing’ and started a new one, or that you are trying to use an existing backup after doing a possibly incompatible change in your backend ? if the former, that could mean that your ‘fix’ is invalid. If the latter, you could try to create a fresh backup toward a new directory on your server and see how it goes; if it’s better, wipe the old backup.

By the way, when you encounter a backend related error message, to try to rebuild the DB is probably not the first thing to do. To rebuild the DB is assuming that the backend is a valid source of truth.

The problem with the ftp server was the “alwayschroot” option restricting access to the local user home folder. I disabled that, and was able to verify access with an ftp client using the same credentials.

Hardware is unlikely, it’s a raidz2 array.

I will try a new folder.

well now my DB is hosed


same user…

#EDIT:
\ not /

fixed this one

made new backup, moved olds to temp directory… tested, works.
