<![CDATA[Backup progress units - MB? Mb? Something else?]]>(I did search previous messages but could not find any mention. Apologies if this was answered before)

I'm currently doing a backup of a heavily used app. It's been stuck at 15% for a number of hours. From the progress both the GUI indicator:

6ced0be0-2840-46a2-94d5-c7a4bd045df6-image.png

and CLI indicator:

Aug 16 15:49:53 box:tasks update 10767: {"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 55227M@10MBps (APP.DOMAIN.TLD)"}

it's unclear to me the units of the progress so far.

Is it 55227MB or Mb?

This combined with not being able to work out the total size means I'm unable to say if this has stalled, work out how long it'll take, etc.

Any help appreciated!

Are there no errors in between? If not, it could be that the backup process is running out of memory. Backups -> configure -> bump the memory limit.

From your command in that post, in my case the box-TASKID.service is 10767, so I take it the correct syntax is:

watch -d -n 0.1 ls -lah /proc/$10767/fd/

is that right?

I'm getting the following issue

Every 0.1s: ls -lah /proc/10767/fd/                                                                        apps: Wed Aug 16 16:14:26 2023

ls: cannot access '/proc/10767/fd/': No such file or directory

{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 60411M@5MBps 
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 60501M@9MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 60648M@15MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 60807M@16MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup 60890M@8MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *61060M*@17MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *61060M*@0MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *61060M*@0MBps
...
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *219M*@5MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *255M*@4MBps
{"percent":15,"message":"Backup - Uploading backup *278M*@2MBps

I expected those numbers before the M@xMBps would always increment. I thought they were showing how much had been backuped/updated already. Is this assumption incorrect?
