The mountpoint of the remote smb share is hiding the folder (with the same name).

Unmount the smb share. The folder /srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35/omvbackup will be still there.

Confirm, that it is not a mountpoint any more with mountpoint /srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35. The output of that command should be /srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35 is not a mountpoint.

Then you can delete the folder /srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35/omvbackup and /srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35

This way it works as described by yourselves.

Thanks a lot

I am using OMB Backup for a weekly backup of the system drive "mmcblk0p2" to a smb-share on my NAS.

The SMB share is connected via Remote Mount Plugin.

Last week I had a planned power failure for a couple of hours.

So before I shutdown OMV server. When the power was available, then the server automatically started.

But I was not aware to mount the SMB share of my NAS again.

So last night the backup started with an unmounted drive.

Now my system drive "mmcblk0p2" has only 15% free disk space.

I assume the backup was saved locally.

But I don't find the folder with the local backup to delete it.

In the logs I don't see any usefull information.

/srv/8fdcee67-9d38-4c9e-847c-179219f3bb35/omvbackup = my NAS share

Can you give me a advice to find it, please?

maybe it was a mistake to mount the share again before deleting the local backup?

Thanks for the explanation: Now it is clear for me!

Out of curiosity, does this change causing a problem with the transfer?

This is the topic of this thread: why are the quotes gone?

After the transfer the hidden folders are transfered and they are not hidden anymore at the destination.

Attached the screenshots about with the rsnapshot log and the settings.

When I transfer directly with rsync in OMV services, everything works as expected. Hidden folders are not transfered.

If I left the args field empty than the command is

/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --delete-excluded \

Any ideas herefore?

It would be helpful to know if understand correctly the exclude option

No I don't know how to check user permissions, how can I do it?

- Connect via SSH to your OMV

- browse to the directory with the share folder

- use the command to show the folders and check the rights

- read this: https://www.linuxfoundation.or…ng-linux-file-permissions

e.g.

ssh ip -l user

cd ..

cd ..

cd serv

ls

cd dev-disk-by-uuid-123456789-abcdefgh-12345

ls -la

Thanks for sharing

I am pretty sure the issue has nothing to do with the HDD format, like EXT4.

I doublecheck your parameter with my installation. The differences are

- pubblico = no

- ACL ereditate = yes

- Attributi estesi = no

- Memorizza gli attributi DOS = no

Another cause could be the permissions of the user, which you use in Windows to connect the SMB share.

Do you know how to access the OMV over SSH and list the user permissions on a folder?

I remember in summer 2022 Microsoft disabled 3rd party UEFI certificates by default.

This could not be the root cause of your issue?

Following for Germans a tutorial how to install OMV and Plex on a Raspberry 4:

c't 3003: Plex auf dem NAS | Raspberry-Pi-4-Tutorial | heise online

here is a generic guide how to enable UEFI on an Intel server board:

How to Change the Boot Mode (UEFI/Legacy) on Intel® Server Boards

I guess you use an Intel Xeon E5 for your OMV installation.

(Legacy and CSM means the same for the boot options)

Which motherboard do you have? Do you know how to access the BIOS of your computer?

The UEFI option can be enabled in the BIOS of the computer independed of the operation system, like OMV or linux or windows.

It is not working with both options UEFI or CSM, only with one.

Maybe a silly answer/question: UEFI boot is activated in the BIOS, instead of CSM or Legacy?

I create a separate user account for accessing the SMB shares in the menu user - user:

This account is in the group sambashare and users. Also I set the read / write rights under the button Privilegs for Shared Folders.

In the menu SMB/CIFS - Shares the option Only Read should not be activated for a share.

I use the rsnapshot plugin to backup my OMV data. The destination is mounted over smb.

Everything is backuped so it works

My issue is the exclude of directories starting with an . (dot) like .recycle or .thumbnails.

Excluding of a normal file or directory works fine. I guess it has to do with the hidden status of the Dotdirectories.

As I understand to include the hidden files in the exclude I have to use single quotes.

As arguments I tried different versions with single quotes or double quotes, like

--exclude '.recycle/'

but after executing the cron job in the log files I see that the quotes are gone

/usr/bin/rsync -a --exclude .recycle/ \

What do I not understand?
