Restore files from gui is empty

Even though there are more important issues these days, I would still ask for duplicity

Since I have activated duplicity, the swap is saturated. from command I have retrieved files, but from web admin the folders are not displayed.

On another server works perfectly.
is it just a ram problem? 64Gb ???

I saw the same problem once, in a system where there were some external nfs filesystems mounted and a lot of empty directories. The list of files to restore is built by your web browser, did you try different browsers?
If you can share (send me) the full list of files on your server we can help, but I understand that it will be hard.

Yes…Firefox and Chrome

But then the problem is only for NFS?
With CIFS sharing there is this problem?
We’re still talking about the corporate file server … thousands of files, a lot of nested directories.

[root@samba ~]# backup-data-list > file.txt
[root@samba ~]# ls -lah file.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 219M Sep 19 12:26 file.txt

impossible to open :astonished:

What advice between NFS and CIFS for better performance?

I would…but I can not!
however, over 2M of backed up files, I do not think we have many empty folders

This is an example of longest directory backupped
Many space is a problem? :confused:

backup-data-list command works right and prints out every file and folder into the archive.

No error on httpd-admin/error log (I was thinking about a timeout retrieving files list…but no errors logged) nor access log.

PS: Already tried several browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge and last but not the least…Safari…all were updated to latest version).

any ideas ?

King Regards and thank you for your support

Paolo

This is the normal behaviour. You have to restore the whole directory and pick the files you need.
The web ui will never show files.

Filippo, Thank you so much for your kind and quick reply !

Have you ever take in consideration to make a file level restore option ? It could be useful with huge sized folders.

Regards (from Italy)

Use the restore-file command to restore single files.

I’ve found a new issue…trying to restore a complete folder. Restore complete without error on gui but if i check:

/var/log/restore-data.log:
2018-05-08 13:39:18 - ERROR - Restore failed, see /var/log/restore.log for details - 4864
2018-05-08 13:42:11 - ERROR - Restore failed, see /var/log/restore.log for details - 4864

/var/log/restore.log:
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Tue May 8 01:00:12 2018
–file-to-restore not found in archive - no files restored.
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Tue May 8 01:00:12 2018

The weird issue is that restored folder (and its content) are in place (i’ve also verified md5sum against original files to be sure) correctly.

It happens with booth “Restore files in the original path” or “Restore files in new directory” options.
I’ve also tried to restore folders with and without space in their name. Same bevahviour.

Any ideas?

Regards

Paolo
