I upgrade my machines, still have issues with my Fedora server when I try to recreate the database for one of the small backups stored on an SMB share:

Any ideas?

Oh, and when it happened the UI shows a notification but it can’t be cleared nor is there any link to take me to the log:

Not really sure what is happening with this job, but I left it to run and this was the result:

Just had to adjust all my backups after our clocks changed to summer time. I thought this had been fixed?

[Taomyn]

I tried a disk image backup on my Windows server this morning, it’s not scheduled and I ran the last one, which was the initial backup, over a month ago. The backup was successful but very quick, too quick and when I checked the logs it had basically done nothing:

It’s the OS drive and I know I’ve done plenty on it including several Windows updates, so there should be some changes to back up. This can’t be right?

@Taomyn

I thought this had been fixed?

v2.1.0.100_canary_2024-11-25

Fixed issue with DST changes causing schedule time-of-day to change

I’m having trouble finding some old records, but I think it worked for first year, switching into DST, and I guess that would be Spring 2025. It didn’t Fall 2025:

@ts678

Change off DST fell back an hour in Duplicati. I had hoped dailies would hold as in Spring.
On night before, my 7 AM-ish daily runs were forecasting 6-ish. On next day, next are too.

Above is Fall 2025 post. In Spring 2026 it worked in 2.2.0.3_stable_2026-01-06, however 2.2.0.103_canary_2026-01-08 failed. I was only 95% sure I didn’t help, which makes me happy in a way to have some better confirmation it’s gone bad.

Maybe it’s random? IDK. I do see some other issues that nobody else is seeing.

EDIT 1:

DST here is Sun Mar 8 at 2 AM. Here are job logs from the day before and then:

Start 2026-03-07 08:20:00
End 2026-03-07 08:25:03

Start 2026-03-08 09:20:04
End 2026-03-08 09:31:55

Job profiling log shows:

2026-03-07 08:35:51 -05 - [Information-Duplicati.Library.Main.Controller-CompletedOperation]: The operation Backup has completed
2026-03-08 09:20:20 -04 - [Information-Duplicati.Library.Main.Controller-StartingOperation]: The operation Backup has started

This is the last server start I can find in the server profiling log. TZ is US Eastern.

2026-02-13 08:27:20 -05 - [Information-Duplicati.Server.Program-ServerStarted]: Server has started and is listening on *, port 8103

So while I can’t positively say I didn’t reschedule it manually, I don’t think I did it…

EDIT 2:

https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/blob/master/Duplicati/UnitTest/TimeZoneHelperTests.cs was done in original fix, yet misses this somehow. Odd.

I’ve got another backup that failed due to issues with the database - a Wasabi S3 backup. When I tried to delete+repair the database it complained about broken files so I ran a list broken files, decided the one file it found was ok to purge, then ran a purge broken files.

I re-ran the recreate database and it’s running longer, but seems to be having issues during “Reading file locks”, and the logs show it repeatedly beijg unable to access files, retrying, then succeeding:

It goes on and on and on…

I check my link to Wasabit and all is fine:

Any ideas?

Second Linux backup this time Debian, also local to an SMB share, and complaining about the database regarding the donations text file

Duplicati.Library.Interface.DatabaseInconsistencyException: Found inconsistency in the following files while validating database:

Don’t really understand what’s happening.
