Nextcloud Backup without Data

@nebulon said in Nextcloud Backup without Data:

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:

correct in your case this should not be any issue as this is mounted like a regular ext4 which supports hardlinks just fine.
