USB Backup is a core plugin. Therefore Bugreports of it can be posted here: http://bugtracker.openmediavault.org

It should be only run once though. The next time you plug the device in, it will run automatically.
The 'Run' button is only for testing or if you know the backup is done in short time. The main concept of the plugin is to start the backup job automatically and non-interactive if the USB is plugged in and not to do it via WebGUI.
Good Morning,
i configured it yesterday and was also quit surprised, that this Popup appeared.
As dfarning said already, it can take hours until you finish successfully the first "Fullbackup"
Thanks for opening the Ticket, because you are not able to do anything with the Webgui
when this Job is running. Good to hear, that it runs next time autom. plugging in the drive.
Because if not, (knowing that this Plugin is rsync based).. i would ask if there is a possibility
to run it in a cron job (in the background).
dfarning...
Did you also observe that the Jobs are stopping with an error "Communication Problem / Error" ?
Confirming this with a click on "Ok" you are "not" able to run it again.. just another Job (which hopefully runs until the end)
i guess that i have to stop the service or reboot OMV to make it run again.. still didn´t try it because jobs are still running, so that i can do it after finishing the next running job.

Refresh the WebGUI, the rsync job continues in the background and you can use the WebGUI again.

I tried it, result... i was not able to see the content of the actual running job anymore (how to check it ? do i have to trust that the running job runs till the end successfully ?

At the moment - yes. Maybe Volker will integrate a progress bar or at least a "in progress" and "done" field... You can add that in the feature request dfarning already opened.

@dfarning
can you add this please additionally to your last feature request ? Thanks
I don't think there is a way to correctly determine overall progress with RSYNC.

ZitatThe --info=progress2 option shows statistics based on the
whole transfer, rather than individual files. Use this flag without
outputting a filename (e.g. avoid -v or specify --info=name0 if you want
to see how the transfer is doing without scrolling the screen with a
lot of names.
Davidh2k's recommendation that refreshing the gui will close the modal dialog while the job continues implies that the frontend and backend are loosely coupled.
Roughly spoken, the GUI 'sends' all commands to a RPC which works as a handler and takes care of all processes started via the GUI. The RPC is a system daemon.

Good morning,
good news ! I decided in the meanwhile not to use the USB Backup / rsync based option, because rsync does not support Unicode and thats a problem for me 
Finally i created a simple copy-script using "cp -u" for example and thats enough for me.

fixed upstream with informational dialog.
TW is marking a thread solved a user task or a moderator task. I have never used this forum software before.
Both.
