  • CRON-APT error, not sure how to clear it

    I have the same error apt clean did not help. If i do apt update from CLI I have extra option to accept the change

    E: Repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'

    N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.

    Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N]


    Should I accept the change?

  • OMV Backup plugin w/ Borg method - can't restore

    Yup making a live system clone with borgupdates is too advanced for me. For some reason it doesn't work their documentation says this should be the command

    Code
    borg create --read-special repo::hostname-disk $DISK -e "/dev"

    Where $DISK is I suppose my physical device lets say /dev/sda . I did try /dev/sda1 which where / is mounted with similar result. I exclude at least /dev because documentation says we might get into infinite loop if we try to back up /dev/zero with --read-special.


    I will just stick to fsarchive for auto live back up. And from time to time I will make manual off-line back up using USBimager.


    PS.

    Borg/the plugin backs up the root file system, which you can specify if not detected automatically

    FYI I did check out the source code and omv-backup plugin with option borg has the root hard coded in it. It will always back up only / directory. It will not care even if someone manually sets root dir form the plugin web interface.

    Fsarchiver is great in this case because it is actually made to backup a file system to a compressed archive.

    Borg is designed for normal file backup

    For SD-cards, it's easier to simply clone them

    Well I will looking into that. I will test making a full disk image with borg. If it works it could be added as a back up option.


    BTW I did test fsarchiever and it works perfectly. I will use it if borg doesn't pin out. Thank you ryecoaaron for making it so easy to back up and restore.

  • OMV Backup plugin w/ Borg method - can't restore

    I am using omv on a rpie. The system is installed on a SD

    I decided to try out borg. Simulating a scenario where my SD card dies.

    My boot is a separate partition and it seems that borg doesn't back up those files. I was wondering if it is the same for you?

    Code
    borg list borgbackup/::backup-omv-08-Nov-2020_00-59-19 boot

    When I tried to list the files in the boot dir it shows no files. Don't I need them to restore my /boot?


    Seeing that you are running a VM I saw some info in borg documentation check it. Dunno how relevant that is.


    I will try fsarchiever and maybe use that.
