Backup script failing with current PMIAB version (v60.5)

[mikochem]

Hello,

The backup script (backup.py) is failing with the error below

root@box:/home/m# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Release: 11 Codename: bullseye root@box:/home/m# duplicity --version duplicity 2.1.4 root@box:/home/m# /root/mailinabox/management/backup.py CommandLineError: argument --gpg-options: expected one argument Something is wrong with the backup: ERROR 23 CommandLineError . CommandLineError: argument --gpg-options: expected one argument

Looks like a known problem caused by Duplicity

Since power mail in a box is a fork from MIAB, I'm not sure what would be the best course of action as I haven't yet compared the backup.py code from the latest MIAB with PMIAB.

Has anyone dealt with that issue already ?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

I was able to fix this using the latest backup script from MIAB.

The only change to be made was the systemd php-fpm unit name to point to the older version being used in PMIAB.

Cheers,

Michael

Backup Error

Something is wrong with the backup: ERROR 23 CommandLineError . CommandLineError: argument --gpg-options: expected one argument

SOLUTION

in the /root/mailinabox/management/backup.py find the two referenced to the --cipher-algo=AES256, and simply replace the = sign with a space. save file reboot server

Backups should work now

After a hell of a lot of reading it seems that the semantics of the language changed. What used to be "--cipher-algo=AES256" is now " --cipher-algo AES256"

Sorry, but I think the correct way is : "--cipher-algo AES256"
