sorry, do not know what processes have to be stopped for that. Try to identify them using top (or similar) and lsof maybe
To be precise:
I wanted to check the size of the backup so I came from
Cockpick - System - Backupup - restore (selected the backup from tonight)…
This is the one to Amazon S3, approx. 0.5 TB … which is not required.
sorry lsof givs some 100 results. …
top lists “restic” as PID 3232 on top … which is obviously the restore process
The banner is:
Background task in progress: a data restore is running.
How do I stop this ???
if from top
press k
and write the process pid, or you can use another command like
pkill restic
you can check (and stop if running) the script that initiated the restore process /usr/libexec/nethserver/api/nethserver-restore-data/execute
(jq)
sorry, in your case, as the restore process was initiated from the backup page one of the process to kill could be:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/restore-data-restic
any process referencing restore or restic
THX, that one worked, but I am not sure if it stopped in the middle of overwriting some file. Do you know if I can somehow check?
you would have to check the logs (for replaced files and so on), but do not recall if that information is logged. Otherwise you would have to find a way to check latest modified files.
Thanks, marc, but do not believe I would have knowledge … I do not know anything about logs, how to find them and what to look for …
