Linux server backup skips some files

Hi,

I am using CBB on Ubuntu servers with S3 as destination (CLI only).
Some files, specifically .htaccess files are not backed up.
The backup report shows no errors.

How can I get .htaccess files backed up?
These are obviously tremendously important on a server.

Thanks

Hi [reply=“gregm;d651”], it’s probably the “do not backup hidden files” option that is enabled by default.
Edit the backup plan and specify [-es no] to allow backup of hidden files.

Also, here’s the relevant guide just in case.

Hi Glab,

Thanks, I edited the plan as you suggested and now .htaccess files are included (may be add this to the server backup docs? :)).
I also received this warning “your backup plan XXXXX COMPLETED WITH WARNINGS, please see below for more details.
ERROR: File is not intended for backup because it’s a socket.”

I am guessing that it’s because I have a few directories that aren’t needed and I should exclude now - but is the somewhere I can see which files triggered the error exactly?

Thanks

[reply=“gregm;2237”], Backup History is available in GUI (which I believe you do not use) or WebUI (disabled by default, get the syntax by running this [ ./cbb option -set wa ] )

Guide

The error itself, however, is returned by mistake - such files should be skipped without returning any errors, this is the expected behavior.
We have fixed it already, the update should be coming soon, supposedly next week

Thanks. I wasn’t sure that there was a webui for Unix based servers.
So, once enabled and set to a specific port, I simply go to https://myip/opt/local/cloudberry backup/ ? Or do I have to navigate somewhere else?

Thanks

[reply=“gregm;2241”], just go to https://myip:port

You might also want to assign a domain name that would stand for that IP - for example, on your DNS server - that can be done outside of CloudBerry Backup

Thank you both.
