How to manually start a backup

[MaximeMaW]

Hi,

I want to test manually the backup. From the doc, I tried:

service borg start

But it doesn't work:

Job for borg.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status borg.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Then I tried: sudo /usr/local/bin/backup-with-borg

And it gives the error:

ls: cannot access '/etc/yunohost/hooks.d/backup/': No such file or directory
Warning: ls: cannot access '/etc/cron.d/yunohost*': No such file or directory
Error: Script execution failed: /etc/yunohost/hooks.d/backup_method/05-borg__2_app
Error: Custom backup method failure on 'backup' step
ls: cannot access '/etc/yunohost/hooks.d/backup/': No such file or directory

Error: Custom backup method failure on 'backup' step
Error: Script execution failed: /etc/yunohost/hooks.d/backup_method/05-borg__2_app
Error: Custom backup method failure on 'backup' step

Would you have any suggestion? Many thanks!

Tried it on my side and I got the same systemctl error. Here here the output of sudo systemctl status borg__2 (for some reason the service is called borg__2 and not just borg)

Is there specific things you have put when you answer install questions ?

@keomabrun @MaximeMaW I had some similar issue after reinstalling several times both the backup app and the server app. Following @zamentur ideas, I solved it by removing both apps, then erasing both folder: /opt/borg-env/ /usr/local/bin/borg And then reinstalling both apps.

Can you confirm?

Hello. Sorry for not responding, I stopped using borg backup, due to this problem. I won't be able to follow on this issue. Best.
