Explanation on borg versioning backup

[Thatoo]

Hello,

Borg seems to work but when I do

sudo BORG_RSH="ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_borg_ed25519 -oStrictHostKeyChecking=yes " borg list ssh://server@serverb:portSSShserverb/~/backup

I get the following list

it all date from 2020-10-07 (date I installed Borg) and I don't see any updated ARCHIVE_NAME. Is it normal? or should I see more ARCHIVE_NAME or see them at least updated with a new date? Or, if it's normal, how can I know it has been updated and it's not the old content only from the time I installed and launch bor backup?

Thank you in advance for your explanations.

If I do a sudo service borg restart it takes a long time, as if it was doing something but then, when I do sudo BORG_RSH="ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_borg_ed25519 -oStrictHostKeyChecking=yes " borg list ssh://server@serverb:portSSShserverb/~/backup I get the same result.

And if I connect on ssh to serverb and I do borg info /home/borguser/backup , it keep telling

Repository ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Location: /home/borguser/backup
Encrypted: Yes (repokey)
Cache: /home/borguser/.cache/borg/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Security dir: /home/borguser/.config/borg/security/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It feels like neither of Original size, Compressed size and Deduplicated size never change, never increase...

You might have installed borg after installing borgserver on serverB (a current bug with this situation could explain your issue) I am working on it.

Note this bug has been solved in recent version of borg and borgserver_ynh.
