Tar Backups timing out on too large part number

    Hi! My tar zip backups are failing with the below error with Backblaze B2 as the S3 target. It seems like the backup file is being split into too many parts for B2 to handle. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Looks like the tarball is too large with the set part size. Partsize is currently set to 10 * 1024 * 1024 so 10Mb however we already had to apply a provider specific change for scaleway where it is 100Mb. Looks like we have to do the same for B2 then.

    @adrw Is your data more than 100GB ? (Because 10MB with 10000 parts is 100G).

    @girish Yes, it's above 100GB. My Nextcloud instance is currently 269GB and growing towards more than 800GB once the migration from old system is complete. Would adding a configuration option for the part size to make it higher fix this? A strict B2 cap on 1000 parts seems to be quite the limit for larger sized files.

    @adrw Can you try to change /home/yellowtent/box/src/storage/s3.js (line 124) (https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/storage/s3.js#L124)

    Change from:

            const partSize = apiConfig.provider === 'scaleway-objectstorage' ? 100 * 1024 * 1024 : 10 * 1024 * 1024;

    Change to:

            const partSize = apiConfig.provider === 'scaleway-objectstorage' ? 100 * 1024 * 1024 : 100 * 1024 * 1024;

    The above bumps the part size to 100MB, which will let you upload 1TB. No need to restart anything after code change. Then, go to Backups -> Advanced on Cloudron dashboard and also bump the memory limit a bit to say 600MB atleast. Can you tell me if that works?

    I will look into making the part size configurable.

    @girish Running a tar backup against that change now, will report back if it succeeds. Many thanks!

    OK, I have added an option now to adjust the part size for the next release (Cloudron 5.6)

    @girish The task failed again but for a different error. Seems to have lost connection when doing some backup cleaning/copying but succeeded in the huge upload?

    @adrw It looks like the upload succeeded! What has failed is the copying part number (which also has a part size). This is hardcoded to 5GB. It seems B2 takes more than 300 seconds to copy a 5GB file. Can you please adjust this line - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/storage/s3.js#L258

                const largeFileLimit = apiConfig.provider === 'exoscale-sos' ? 1024 * 1024 * 1024 : 5 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024;

    to

                const largeFileLimit = apiConfig.provider === 'exoscale-sos' ? 1024 * 1024 * 1024 : 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024;

    So we are reducing part size to 1GB above. I will make copy part size configurable as well then.

    @girish Awesome! Going to give that a shot and report back. Thanks again for your help, very hyped to get back to using tar backups and cutting my B2 ingress costs.

    @adrw It looks like my suggestion was wrong. We always only do 1GB copies, I read the code wrong. Re-reading the logs it seems that after around 90 parts, the copies start failing (so ~90GB). It seems the server returned a 500. We might have to contact b2 and ask them if they have size restrictions on file copies.

    @girish Thanks, it did fail though it seem to succeed up to 146 parts and then the logs start so I'm assuming a timeout of the backup job.

    Would it be possible to extend the timeout on the Cloudron backup task?

    @adrw The timeout comes from https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/storage/s3.js#L71 . It's set to 600 seconds. Maybe we can try changing it to 1000 ?

    Thanks @girish ! Going to try that out, mine was previously set to 300, so 1000 should hopefully be a sufficient allowance. Will report back.

    @girish I adjusted the timeout for the L71 you mentioned to 10000 and it the task is still getting killed for taking too long. Is there any broader Cloudron task wide timeout or backup configuration for the entire task vs the L71 which seems to be more focused on the individual network call timeout?

    @girish Any ideas on how to proceed given the continued timeouts?

    @girish Alternatively, can we add configurability of parallel copy threads similar to what was added to the rsync advanced configuration options? If we can increase parallel copying than I think this tar backup task will succeed.

    @adrw said in Tar Backups timing out on too large part number:

    Task 1735 timed out

    @adrw Something else is going on. The above error message suggests that the backup task took more than 12 hours. Is that the case? Was backup running for more than 12 hours?

    @girish Yes, pretty sure it was.

    @adrw In that case, the real issue is https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/backups.js#L1235 . There is a timeout of 12 hours for backup tasks. Can you bump it to like 36 or something?

    For copy concurrency, there is already a slider for that. Don't you see it under advanced? Note that where it is failing now is that it has to copy the parts of the same file (basically, the single file is so big that we have to split it up into many parts). I have to check if parallel multi-part copy is allowed. If it is, it's easy to do.
