Backup is done to a NAS over NFS.

Backup status: FAIL

Log file: /var/log/backup/backup-backup-data-202111112130.log

But going to the NAS the data is there and a trial restore works. Any translation on what the log is saying “Attempt 1 failed. IOError:”

Maybe the full log gives the bigger picture.
IIRC when duplicity finds and error by default it does 5 retries before giving up. The IOError (Input / Output Error) could be a failure to access/read/write to the destination or to some file, for example.
If I’m not mistaken NethServer spits outs any error it receives and marks the task as failed even when a later retry has succeeded.

FWIW, i’m having the same kind of error trying to backup Duplicity over WebDAV to pCloud. (sheep)

It looks incomplete but no reason or noted failure. The bold lines straight after dumping the DB tables and then claim success!! But data is there on the NAS.

Here is a clue. Using the old 980 interface it complained of

empty

[Send notification to](https://domain:29980/en-US/BackupData#BackupData_notifyTo)

equal to root@localhost

invalid email address
In the cockpit interface we had 2 receiving email addresses. When I removed on in 980 interface the error warning has gone. Will watch to see it backup behaves tonight.

Issue still there, but it maybe the NAS itself. Doing a file system check on the drives
