Hi,

I’m one of the crashplan orphans who are trying to find a new backup solution. I found wasabi s3 to be a affordable cloud solution and I’ve been trying out Duplicati for a while. However I’m having some problems when trying to backup my files.

After the backup has been running for a while I get the error message “The request body terminated unexpectedly” and the backup fails.

Any ideas what can cause this and how to solve it?

Got the same error again. This time I found some logs.

I have created a bug report in the UI if it might help.

Sometimes sqlite3 throws an ‘disk i/o error’ (not to be confused with a general ‘i/o error’), and this is the actual stacktrace: at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.Reset(SQLiteStatement stmt) at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3.Step(SQLiteStatement stmt) at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteDataReader.NextResult() at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteDataReader..ctor(SQLiteComma…

In less technical terms: something breaks during the upload, but the problem is “hangs around” and causes it to crash at a later point.
