I’ve changed from local backup to AWS S3, and after some days I just have more than 250GB! and I had “No backups have been made yet.”
Then I changed to the rsync method, I had just 2 days of full backup and no incremental backup!
How can I troubleshoot backup? How can I see the backup log?
It appears that the backup software, duplicity, introduced a problem whereby it started only doing full backups. The latest version, 3.0.2, seems to have fixed this issue. Upgrade you packages, and confirm that you have the 3.0.2 version.
As an FIY… After I installed the new package, I did a full backup by hand. After this was done I noticed the other full backups were still present on the system (not sure how, when or if these should be cleaned up in light of this issue), so I removed all older full backups by hand, just keeping the one I just created manually. After that I ran the backup again manually just as the nightly job runs it and it created an incremental as expected. So I hope all is okay now.
Thank you so much dms, after updating to 3.0.2, I’ve removed all old backups and then re-run the setup and rebooted. That works fine now.
