"Backup failed" email notification

[ekevu123]

Yes, I know that failed backup notifications are already raised in the dashboard, but that requires me to go and look there. I have a mission-critical app that should update every day and I literally had the case that while I was on vacation, it failed one day. Nothing happened, it backed up the next day, but I simply didn't look into the dashboard that day like usually.

That's where the feature request is coming from.

@girish hello, any news about this point? I would like to be notified via email as soon as backup fails. Hetzner storage box mounted as backup is not persistent.

as @ekevu123 wrote, some app are mission critical

@p44 said in "Backup failed" email notification:

Hetzner storage box mounted as backup is not persistent.

True that.
It is an easy fix though. I just remount it and run the backup again. Everything goes fine.

Question is: Can this be automated after x number of backup failures?

That is, if backup fails x number of times, check mounting status and if not mounted, remount and retry backup again?

Thanks!

@jagan sometimes I'm not able to remount by feature... need to reboot server(s)

@girish hello, any news about this? Yesterday didn't noticed any issues, but today I saw two missed backups with Hetzner storage box mounted as storage...

What are the errors? Did it eventually succeed? Is this sshfs or cifs? Which Cloudron version are you on?

[p44]

@nebulon No any errors, just stucked one entire day on upload at 0 MBps

Hetzner mounted with Cifs
Cloudron v7.7.2 (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS)

[nebulon]

Ah ok, this will most likely be fixed in Cloudron 8.0.3 which is already being slowly rolled out

@nebulon Thank's
