Thanks for reporting - I'd like to collect a few more details, as if the backup started successfully then this is likely an error condition in the underlying tar/bz2 commands.
Have you tried enabling debug logging in the preferences and running a backup? You should see the command it is executing which you can try running yourself, for example:
Dec 31 12:21:53 :: INFO : Using tar.gz: Must backup all paths at once - Progress notification will be disabled. Dec 31 12:21:53 :: DEBUG : Backing up path 1/1: /home/stewartadam/backuptest/data Dec 31 12:21:53 :: DEBUG : Running command: nice -n 0 tar cfz '/home/stewartadam/backuptest/destination/Backup-setname-2023-12-31_12-21.tar.gz' '/home/stewartadam/backuptest/data' Dec 31 12:21:53 :: DEBUG : Starting subprocess with PID 40156 Dec 31 12:21:55 :: DEBUG : Subprocess with PID 40156 exited with status 0 Dec 31 12:21:56 :: INFO : Finished automatic backup operation of set 'backuptest'
In this case running:
tar cfz '/home/stewartadam/backuptest/destination/Backup-setname-2023-12-31_12-21.tar.gz' '/home/stewartadam/backuptest/data' would let you directly observe the underlying backup command. I'd be curious to see what happens when you hit that ~1.6GB point.
@88artur88 I've been unable to reproduce this issue, I tried both with a 3GB set of source files as well as trying to run a backup for >1h in case it was related to a timeout - but on my F39 installation it worked as expected.
Feel free to re-open if you can provide any of the information above, but as I can't reproduce this to diagnose the issue I'll close this for now.
