I had a backup job get stuck due to internet connection going down. I discovered it late after it had been stuck for a while. I quite the job, restarted Duplicati and it immediately tried to finish the job (as expected) but got stuck again. Changed the settings to stop it from retrying the job and restarted Duplicati. Now I could attempt a repair, but it fails listing a database inconsistency and asking me to repair. I have also tried to list broken files to see if I could purge them, but this fails listing ongoing backup jobs and asking me to do a repair to clean up, which again fails as per above. I have also tried to re-create the local db from the remote files. This ends with me back in the same loop. I am about lost for things to attempt to get this job back online. Luckily I have another backup and no issues with the files at the source so I can just start a new backup to the same remote location. But if I could avoid re-uploading a lot of data I would prefer. Anything that I could try that I have not attempted yet?
Are you running 2.3.0.1? We discovered a bug in 2.3.0.0 that would make the database recreate work incorrectly if the backup data had files with zero bytes in them (fairly common).
Otherwise, could you post the exact error message that you get?
Are you talking about the (somewhat misleading) status bar message of:
“Completing previous backup” following update to latest (2.3.0.1)
which then gets stuck unless one uses one of the workarounds to not try.
Regardless, you’re in a different issue now, but possibly they are related.
Yes, running 23.0.1. Was the bug in 23.0.0 and fixed in 23.0.1 or is it still present in 23.0.1. If it is fixed I could attempt to re-create again (it is possible that I tried re-create prior to update to 23.0.1)
The database recreate issue with zero-byte files is fixed in 2.3.0.1, the issue with getting stuck in “Completing previous backup” is not yet understood completely.
