Timeshiftplugin not working

  • Hi folks,

    i wanted to use the timeshiftplugin to backup my OS-drive for futher problems.

    I attached an external SSD, which was first of all formated in EXT4.

    Then i mounted the filesystem.

    All was done in the ui, no cli-magic..


    The i set in timeshift->preferences the "Backup destination device" to my created filesystem on my external ssd.

    After that i jumped to on-demand-snapshots, i clicked on "create a snapshot on sdc1", the on the + symbol..



    I tried with NOT Mounting the filesystem too, the same result..


    What am i doing wrong?

  • The system is an Asrock J5040 with 8GB of RAM,

    System-OS ia a ( i know, its to big ),512GB SSD

    Shared HDD is a Toshiba 16TG,

    now externally connectes an Inetnso M.2 SATS 256GB in an USB-3 Case.


    I would say nothing special, latest OMV-Version.

    Try running timeshift in verbose mode

    sudo timeshift --check --verbose

    omv 7.6.0-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0.1 | kvm 7.0.16 | compose 7.3.3 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.0.9

  • That gives back:

    Code
    root@omv:~# sudo timeshift --check --verbose
    Mounted '/dev/sdc1' at '/run/timeshift/144706/backup'
    Scheduled snapshots are disabled - Nothing to do!

    What settings are you using on the Settings tab of the plugin?

    omv 7.6.0-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.11 proxmox kernel
