Unable to use the 'skip init' function

[TheNoMoreHero]

Hi,

I would like to move my repository to a different HDD. My thought process is to create a new shared folder in the OMV GUI, and use that folder to create a new repository using the 'Skip init' toggle to import the old repository in BorgBackup. When I enable the 'Skip init' toggle, I get the following error:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; export BORG_PASSPHRASE=REDACTED; export BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK=yes; export BORG_RELOCATED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK=yes; /usr/bin/borg info '/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-f3cb31f7-3415-4e21-9753-47ce84634bfa/Backup2/' 2>&1' with exit code '2': /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-f3cb31f7-3415-4e21-9753-47ce84634bfa/Backup2 is not a valid repository. Check repo config.

Just to be clear: The repository does create when I leave the 'skip init' disabled.

Am I doing anything wrong?

There really isn't a good way to do this with the plugin. I am working on adding a feature that would help with this.

[TheNoMoreHero]

Thanks for getting back. The fact that it throws an error is still undesired though right? Or would this be fixed in your new feature?

[ryecoaaron]

No, it isn't an error in the code. When you skip the init, the plugin still runs a borg info command against the repo to verify there is a repo in the specified location. If there isn't a repo there, the plugin throws an error by design. I plan to add a feature allowing an existing repo's path to be changed.

[TheNoMoreHero]

I see, thanks for the information!

[ryecoaaron]

I am still working on the feature allowing you to move a repo.

Took a while since I was on vacation but here is the change https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/openmediavault-borgbackup/commit/ff45f07f57d754a15fb8c3bd80ee6ef004c1cb86

I am still testing but it should be released soon.

Hi! How can I see/track if it has been released on OMV6? I recently tried it, but couldn't get it to work

[ryecoaaron]

It is OMV 7 only. OMV 7 has been released as well.

[TheNoMoreHero]

Ah, perfect. Last time I checked it hadn´t yet, but then I'll upgrade and try the feature. Thanks for your work!
