    Yes, it sorted itself out and I believe it may have been related to an aging SSD that was preforming very slowly. Thank you!

    @samgreenwood are you following the steps in https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#move-cloudron-to-another-server ? If you need access to your old server simply change DNS manually to point to the old server or modify your laptop's /etc/hosts . my.domain.com 1.2.3.4 (where 1.2.3.4 is your old server IP)

    @joseph yea, one would need to setup rclone to use Google Drive. Hence the old thread about it.

    I killed the apport proceses and that helped the server load and since restarted the server as well, but it seems likely that a failing SSD that I let go way too long is likely the culprit (sdb1 was were most of the apps were stored)... [image: 1771141770574-972bc655-c06b-471a-8622-639cc53de182-image.png] We'll see once everything is migrated and I try restarting... it's that initial boot up that seems to consistently take forever for the WP sites.

    Ah ok, Cloudron doesn't wait for DNS to be in sync forever. It just waits for it at installation time and gives up after some retries. Maybe a feature request?

    I have increased the solr indexing timeout and reduced the indexing batch size. Maybe it helps on slower machines .

    Will do, James. I have not been able to recreate the held lock issue. I was starting/stopping jobs a fair bit at one point, and can't... be precise about where in the backup cycle those cancellations happened that a cleanup might not have happened. I will watch for it in the future. When I said there was no RAM pressure, I meant that was true for the server. However, my jobs all had 1GB of RAM. Your suggestion clued me in; because that value must be set after you setup the backup job, I had never noticed it before... or, not realized how critical it might be. I have bumped them all to 6GB of RAM, and so far, I've been seeing backup successes. Barring the question below, I'd say we could close this issue. The lesson learned is that I need to provide my backup tasks more RAM. Because I have some RAM to spare, I'm going aggressive, and giving things 6GB. I did not attempt to settle on a smaller amount, for anyone who comes along after--- I just gave the tasks a limit that I considered to be "a lot" in this context. I still see some things like the errors below. The backup completes successfully, but I'm unclear why there would be errors like these sprinkled throughout the backup. Is the relative path full/snapshot/app_... actually correct? Or, should that be a full path (e.g. the base path I provided at setup time along with the relative path)? In the command that succeeds, it is a full path.

    Hello @danskvandrelaug Can you please share the config of your /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml file? Also what hoster are you using? Also the output of the --troubleshoot looks all good. What exactly is the problem?

    You’ll find way too many horror stories if you search for Contabo on this forum. I had the nvme plan and the speeds were constantly under 500mb/s. Support was useless. Frequent network issues were common. I’ve since moved to Hetzners dedicated vcpu entry plan that costs less than half but performance is top notch. It’s hosting my public facing sites while the rest are self hosted on premise. Before you go nuts trying to fix things on Contabo, go through a migration to a new provider and see how it goes. Use dry run feature when setting up the dns so the live sites are still using Contabo for now.
