In my case both devices are on the same network so I did not have that trouble.

Both the solutions you are proposing would obvioulsy work. ssh would be the simplest to setup with a little port forwarding and care. If you are using certificates (which you would need to) and turn off password authentication then IMHO you should be safe enough for your use case. VPN would be more flexible if you want to run other services at the expense of the extra up front effort. However, now you have a process that is not directly started by Borg that needs to be reliable and needs investigating separately if you have any issue. That is the kind of complexity I try to avoid.

Hope that helps

OK, then thank you for your help and I will continue to see if I can get it to work for a non-root user. At least I have a working config now so I have something to build on

Hu interesting, only works if you use the root user to connect. Had to change my connection string to be

root@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/borg/

(once setting up the keys)

Hi. Yes this is already done. In fact I went as far as checking that the commands run without anything interactive, for example

scott@nas:~$ BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg check --repository-only --info 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'

Remote: Starting repository check

Remote: Starting repository index check

Remote: Index object count match.

Remote: Completed repository check, no problems found.

I see you are doing it with root. I wonder if it only works if you connect as root. I will go check

I have two OMV (NAS and BackupNas) both running 5.5.11-1 with BorgBackup 5.1.5. On either I can create a shared folder and then create a local Repo.

What I would like to do is create a Repo on BackupNAS to backup NAS to (remote).

1) If I create the Repo on BackupNAS and then on NAS create a repo pointing to the one on BackupNAS with "Skip init" selected I get an Error on NAS

OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg check --repository-only --info 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'' with exit code '2': in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/system/process.inc:182

If I run the command myself it initially failes becuase BorgBackup has created the Repo all owned by root

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/config'

If I chown recuresively the directory then the command will complete if run by hand

scott@nas:~$ BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg check --repository-only --info 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'

Remote: Starting repository check

Remote: Starting repository index check

Remote: Index object count match.

Remote: Completed repository check, no problems found.

However the wizzard in the plugin will still fail as above

2) If I create a Shared Folder on BackupNAS and then create a repo from NAS remotely it fails

Error #0:
OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg init --encryption=none 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'' with exit code '2': in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/system/process.inc:182

Running the command by hand works (the directory is writable by scott)

scott@nas:~$ BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg init --encryption=none 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'

and creates the repo

scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg$ ls -al

total 72

drwxrwsr-x 3 root users 4096 Sep 23 09:46 .

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 23 09:41 ..

-rw------- 1 scott users 190 Sep 23 09:46 integrity.1

-rw------- 1 scott users 73 Sep 23 09:46 README

and the check works

scott@nas:~$ BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg check --repository-only --info 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'

Remote: Starting repository check

Remote: Starting repository index check

however trying to tell BorgBackup to use that remote repo still fails with the same error

Error #0:
OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; BORG_PASSPHRASE='password' /usr/bin/borg check --repository-only --info 'scott@backupnas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Backup/Borg/'' with exit code '2': in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/system/process.inc:182

So I can not move on to create an archive.

Any suggestions for debugging greatly recieved

Worked great.

When I installed openmediavault_5.5.11-amd64.iso from scratch the same thing happened again. This time to fix I needed to do

sudo salt-call --local state.orchestrate omv.setup.fixmode

I assume the "stage" in the previous one was because it was something you were working on that has now been promoted

Thank you

Just had this same problem with a fresh install of OMV5 in a VMware virtual machine using openmediavault_5.3.9-amd64.iso although I had installed openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all5.deb before I noticed the problem
