I was looking for a yes or a no. I will assume all three jobs are on same system.
The connection test to the Magenta cloud share is successful
That’s a minimal test. You should at least be running BackendTester for awhile.
Also check for retry counts before deleting the job database (which deletes logs).
Is it safe to “move” an existing job like this, i.e. would it run (if I ever got it fixed)?
As long as the configuration matches the new name, job shouldn’t mind renames.
Extra unknown file: duplicati-bb7ad446be3d9414e9f37dca1b4e077f0.dblock.zip.aes.part
The key here is that your destination is apparently one that creates a .part file during upload, and doesn’t clean it up. If this is consistent, there’s your problem.
Hi, I am using Duplicati for a daily backup and a weekly backup to the same destination (same machine, but different folders of course). The daily backups are working fine, but the weekly ones are producing this error sometimes: [Screen Shot 2025-05-07 at 16.31.40 PM] Why is there an extra unknown file showing up every 6 to 10 weeks, what could be the possible cause? And why has this never happened with my other daily backup job to the same machine and even same drive, but different subfold…
Your backup configuration is a little different though, but winds up the same way.
You can ask Magenta support to see if they comment on use of the .part files.
You can also set up the logs I mentioned to see if, for example, the Duplicati file:
duplicati-bb7ad446be3d9414e9f37dca1b4e077f0.dblock.zip.aes
had something go wrong during its upload, thereby leaving a .part file behind.
If you are able to query Magenta, maybe you can even observe such file usage.
