Unable to delete a backup #771

Hi,

I have deployed Medusa 0.21.0 in GRPC mode running alongside Cassandra in a pod. I took few backups and I am now trying to delete a few of them using the gRPC client. It throws the following error message "Backup manager has no backups on record". I went through the code (server.py) and it looks like the BackupMap keeps track of all the backups that are taken since the pod/medusa container restart and nothing prior to it.

Is this a known issue?

thanks, Pradeep V.B.

Hi @pvb05 !

Yes, we've had similar issues with listing backups here and here.

I believe it'd be correct to have the DeleteBackup endpoint "remember" exising backups even after the pod restarts. That would be a feature we can use this issue for.

In the meanwhile, could you please try to do call the GetBackup first, and DeleteBackup second? Doing this should make the BackupMan remember the backup and not complain when deleting it.
