Nextcloud Backup without Data
-
I also asked hetzner support about hardlinks & they said:
It seems that Samba is transferring the Hard Links correct, but not always showing them correct. You could use rsync directly, in order to back up your data to the Storage Box. For example: -----------------%<----------------- rsync --progress -H -e 'ssh -p23' --recursive <local_directory> <username>@<username>.your-storagebox.de:<target_directory> -----------------%<-----------------Also - like msbt - it was working in the beginning & then started giving errors about hardlinks.
jdaviescoates - Do you mean the borgbackup to Hetzner storagebox - or the Synology pull?
nebulon - Is there a way to do a cloudron app only -minus nc data backup? I'm only able to keep 2 days of native cloudron backups at the moment & would very much prefer more than that!

Both! Thanks

Just a heads up, I have seen some bad behavior with cifs mount and hard-links on my personal Cloudron, which made some backups corrupt.
So please everyone who is using this for now with relevant data, do not use hardlinks.

I'm not sure if this applies to me or not. I backup to a Hetzner Cloud Volume (not storage box). Currently I have hardlinks enabled. Should I turn them off?
What should I look for in the logs to see if this is effecting me?
Thanks!

It highly depends on how a "disk" is mounted onto the server. The hardlinks issue is only there for cifs mounts and since cifs/samba support hardlinks since a very long time, this seems to be related in particular to the hetzner storage boxes at the moment.

@nebulon OK thanks, so I don't think this applies to me.
This is how Hetzner Cloud Volumes are mounted:
