Clearing some space now, by removing the backups we disabled last December:
root@tod:/crusader/backup/rdiff-backup# rm -rf ifs root@tod:/crusader/backup/rdiff-backup# rm -rf mnt
(Still running)
This should allow tonight's backup to proceed normally.
After we get #3 done, we can do something like the following to remove files/diffs older than 1 month:
rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1M --force /backups
root@tod:/crusader# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
172.24.209.62:/volume1/data 17T 15T 2.0T 89% /crusader
root@tod:/crusader#
I changed tod:/root/backup-scripts/backup-grail.sh
from
rdiff-backup --backup-mode --exclude-other-filesystems /grail/ /crusader/backup/rdiff-backup/grail
to
rdiff-backup --backup-mode --exclude-other-filesystems --include /grail/bam --include /grail/projects --include /grail/TONY --exclude /grail /grail/ /crusader/backup/rdiff-backup/grail
This will prevent directories like /grail/raw from being backed up in the future. When we run the rdiff-backup --remove-older-than
thing we can delete /crusader/backup/rdff-backup/grail/raw
The grail and root rdiff-backups keep failing during regressing.
Trying to correct based off suggestions at http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html#regress_failure :
root@tod:/crusader/backup/rdiff-backup/grail/rdiff-backup-data# mv current_mirror.2014-10-21T03:00:08-04:00.data ~/gunk/
root@tod:/crusader/backup/rdiff-backup/root_directory/rdiff-backup-data# mv current_mirror.2014-10-23T03:00:10-04:00.data ~/gunk/
There were no mirror_metadata files with a later date, so I didn't remove those like the faq suggested.
The last time I fixed the grail backup it failed to complete because TOD was restarted in the middle of the backup. It seems like it needs to finish a full backup before it can recover itself. I just did the suggested fix again and hopefully the backup will finish. It might take a couple days to finish since it has to do extra work to recover from the prior interrupted backup.
root@tod:/crusader/backup/rdiff-backup/grail/rdiff-backup-data# mv current_mirror.2014-10-23T03\:00\:10-04\:00.data ~/gunk/current_mirror.2014-10-23T03\:00\:10-04\:00.data-2
Backups back to normal as of January 13th using the /mnt/bradner/data for grail.
Related to this, we should complete https://github.com/BradnerLab/SystemAdmin/issues/3 .
(Note that I mistakenly created this as a pipeline issue when I meant to create it as a SystemAdmin issue.)
