Re: [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
Yes, since 20.04, I have not had the problem, but I thought it was due to using a linux server and smb which solved the problem. The original problem was localized to my desktop machine and a local drive, which would fail after bootup because the dedicated backup drrive/partition was not mounted at bootup. Only after mounting the drive/partition would the backup run. This prevented the automated backup that should run shortly after the system booted up. To be clear, the backup partition and deja-dup were being run locally on a client machine. Since 20.04, I built a xigmanas server and moved the backup destination off the local machine to the server and started using smb to access the backup partition. This saved space on the local machine and further protected the backups as they are now stored on a remote server. Thanks for the reply, response and fix.

OK, then yah, I suspect the change I recently made should fix this: deja-dup now checks fstab and mounts the target location before a backup starts.

Re: [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
Yes, it is listed in fstab and yes, I entered the path as a local storage device. All drives are SSD's connected to the computer's internal SSD ports and seen as local. The server is running XIGMANAS with SMB shares for each of the SSD's. I am not running SAMBA server. The local OS is Unbuntu 20.04 where the backup app is running and will not work if the backup drive partition is not mounted first. I can get to it by using a combination of IP address and share name, i.e. "smb:192.168.15.1/Backup Drive". Hope this helps.

[Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
How is this other drive configured? Is it an entry in fstab? And you were entering its path as a Local Folder storage location? If so, we didn't previously do anything special about mounting fstab entries for you. But I just added some code to try that. Could you give a beta build a try and see if it works for you? `snap install deja-dup --classic --edge` ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761216 Title: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1761216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
I have not found the bug you describe to be true. Work-a-round. If you mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup begins, everything is fine and the backup runs without error. If you don't mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup, it will fail, with destination does not have permissions. The permissions on the backup destination are correct in my case. It's just a matter of having the destination partition for backups available by mounting it first. Granted, it seems to be a deja-dup bug, but more to the point, it's an OS system bug because the OS does the mounting, not deja-dup. Deja-Dup just makes an OS system call for the partition, which gets passed to Deja-Dup, but gets no reply from the OS system to mount the partition or have the partition mounted at system startup. If the OS mounts the partition at system start-up, Deja-Dup will perform as expected. I have tried "through system startup" to have the destination partition "auto-mount" at startup, and this works, but no reply to deja-dup is received. It is not a "hard-to-detect-sometimes-directories", but a OS system bug as Deja-Dup does not get the appropriate command to mount the destination partition, or does not reply to the OS system to mount the partition. Be well.

Hello everyone. This is related to bug #804170 but goes even further. instead of preventing to run backups only if the "hard-to-detect sometimes- directories" are available it requests to make them available.

[Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
I tried using "Disks" to allow for the partition on which the backups live on a local drive to "mount on startup". Instead of mounting the disk for which the partition was marked "mount on startup", at reboot, it seem to hide the drive all together. The drive was not mounted, but hidden from the system and completely unavailable to the backup application or listed in file manager. I reversed the process by checking the box in "Disks" to allow default management, and upon reboot, the drive with the partition for the backups was back and available. So, I cannot mount the backup drive at system startup, and the backup application, once set to "Local Device" and pointing to a local disk (other than the default) will cause the backup (if scheduled) to fail claiming it is unable to create, permission denied. One I open the backup application and manually point the "Backup Destination" does the destination drive "mount" and the backup will succeed. The backup cannot be scheduled to backup to a local drive other than it's default. This is clearly broken. The "mount on startup" should have fixed this, so the backup drive is mounted and available at system startup and available for the backup application.
