Axigen Backup Question

Jay · October 25, 2020, 7:52am

Good day,

I am using rsync to make full and incremental backup but is there another way to do it?

I notice and it is a pain in the ***, everytime the incremental backup run it is copying almost all the container again.
I have 13-15 containers approx around 700gb.

Is there a way to tell Axigen to touch only the specific container and don’t touch the remaining? As it change all the time stamp to each container and files.

Hope you can give me a better Ideas.

Regards,
Jay

Hi.
Download axi_backup_tools.zip from below link:

Note that before use it, need to install fusemount with this doxument:

good luck

@Mohammad

I did and succeed mounting
but as soon i run the command with the correct ip, port, passwd, mnt source, mnt destination.

It gives the error “Unable to mount axigen backup filesystem”

Unmount it.
This script automatically mount axigen file system.

Jay · October 25, 2020, 10:20am

same error after unmounting.

@Mohammad

Any other suggestion about the issue?

Jay

Mohammad · October 31, 2020, 5:37am

did you uncomment " user_allow_other" in file ‘/etc/fuse.conf’ ?
Important! After ‘user_allow_other’ you must have an empty line

Jay · October 31, 2020, 6:35am

@Mohammad

Yes, all was done properly.

Hello Jay,

Are you running the command from the server or from a remote PC (for example via a SSH session)?

I’m asking this because the exposed mount point (that you could successfully mount via WebAdmin - as mentioned in post #3), for obvious reasons, could be access only on the server.

Please advice.

BR,
Ioan

Hi @indreias

I am running from the server directly. mount point /mnt/axigen destination /mnt/backup/axigen.

Jay

indreias · October 31, 2020, 8:36am

Hello Jay,

Excellent - could you please capture the script output and share it here?

Before this please double check that:

#1 /mnt/axigen is empty and have RWX for all (777 mode)

#2 /mnt/backup/axigen is empty and have RWX for all (777 mode)

Please advice.

BR,
Ioan

Jay · October 31, 2020, 8:59am

@indreias

If you want me to make it (777) i can do it as well.
Even after putting (777) same result

./axibackup.py -H 127.0.0.1 -p 7000 -u admin -P xxxx /mount/axigen/ /mnt/Disk/axigen/
Unable to mount axigen backup filesystem

Hello Jay,

Could you mount and unmount /mnt/axigen from WebAdmin (as you have already test in post #3

If the mount is successful, what is the output from:

ls -rtl /mnt/axigen/*

Could you please increase log level for CLI service to Protocol Communication, try again to use the backup script and post here the relevant CLI logs?

HTH,
Ioan

@indreias

Mounting from WebAdmin Good.

@indreias any feedback?

indreias · November 2, 2020, 5:32pm

please try the following command (replacing /mount/axigen with /mnt/axigen as your desired mounting point):

./axibackup.py -H 127.0.0.1 -p 7000 -u admin -P xxxx /mnt/axigen/ /mnt/Disk/axigen/

HTH,
Ioan

Jay · November 2, 2020, 7:59pm

@indreias

Thanks for the extra set of eyes. I did not notice my mistake about the mounting point. I will try this tomorrow and give you a feedback.

Regards,
Jay

Jay · November 4, 2020, 9:30am

@indreias

Thanks a lot, It works now after fixing the mistake on the command.

Another question, If I hosted multiple domains and I want only to restore the specific domain should I still run the same command for the restore? All other domains will not be affected?

./axirestore.py -H 127.0.0.1 -p 7000 -u admin -P xxxx /mnt/axigen/ /mnt/Disk/axigen/

Thanks and Regards,
Jay
