Solved Error uploading large dataset

[RoboMod]

Hey there, it's me again.

I'm stilling having trouble making a backup of my Nextcloud installation as shown here: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/3140
Can you please help me? This goes on for days now and I'm getting a little bit nervous about not having a backup ...

@RoboMod Sure, sorry for the no response in the other thread. From the logs in the other post, the error is Message: Connection timed out after 300000ms HTTP Code: TimeoutError. Maybe the server becomes unreachable because of some network error? Is that possible in your setup?

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to test the bandwidth for now. Is there any way to stop or kill the backup process for an app?

@RoboMod Currently, there is no UI for this (never been happy with that create backup UI but that's another story). On the server,

ps aux | grep apptask
kill -9 <the pid above>

That will kill the backup task, you will have to re-configure (don't restore from backup) to bring the app back up.

@girish Thanks for that. The backup crashed while you answered so that wasn't necessary anymore.

This issue still remains. I figured out that my minio instance was a bit outdated. So I upgraded to the release from 2019-03-12. But still the backup runs quite well for some time and then time out errors occure again and again until the backup crashes at all. Today I checked the files stored at "snapshot" in my minio backup instance before starting the backup. There were files remaining from the crashed backup. When I started the backup process again, all those files were deleted and the upload started from the beginning. Is it really necessary to do that?

In the logs, I found this line:

Mar 13 08:50:42 box:apptask nextcloud.xeac.de updating app with values: {"installationProgress":"30, Removed 1020 files"}

Do you have any suggestions what I can do about this issue?

@RoboMod Are you able to ping me on our chat so we can debug this together?
