Hi
It’s been a while (years?) since I posted here so please forgive me if make basic errors.
Can anyone explain to me the meaning of this error - with a view to telling me what I need to do in order to change things and replicate successfully?
I am a very unsophisticated home user. I have the older TrueNAS because “not broke - don’t fix it”. I bought an additional 8Tb external drive in an external housing and connected it via USB. I have backup up (replicated) to it successfully in the past, but this time something went wrong and I had to wipe the external drive and start again afresh. After running for 2 days (it has circa 7Tb to backup) I wake to find the following message:
New alerts:
- Replication “NAS - to - Backup” failed: cannot send NAS@auto-2024-04-19_21-00 recursively: snapshot NAS/iocage/templates@auto-2024-04-19_21-00 does not exist
warning: cannot send ‘NAS@auto-2024-04-19_21-00’: backup failed
cannot receive: failed to read from stream…
I’m of some senior years and I am not a sophisticated user. I rely on the GUI for everything and only have the thinnest grasp of what Snapshots are and how they work. That said it seems to indicate that because it cannot backup a snapshot, everything has collapsed. So why didn’t it skip that snapshot? More importantly, how do I fix this? I don’t want to run a 2 day+ replication again (my calculation says it’ll take 5 days to backup 7Tb over USB 2.0 (I have no faster USB port on my old hardware) and then find it fails again! Should I try to find this snapshot and delete it? Can I do that - delete snapshots the system doesn’t like? Help! How should I proceed please?
Than you everyone, for your thoughts.
