Backintime sticks on 'Compare with snapshot....

Asked by Martin Fisher

Using BackInTime 0.9.26 on Kubuntu Release Candidate 9.10 (KDE 4.3.2), installed from the Karmic repositories, it often (but not always) seems to 'stick' (as in the icon is still in the task bar) on 'Compare with snapshot...' (and the snaphot is the last one taken). It seems to run ok, however, from the command line (backupintim -b).

Is this a bug?

Did you setup a backup schedule ? If you did what is the schedule ?
The included folders contains a lot of files ?

Martin Fisher (yusuf-martin) said :

Yes, the schedule is to run hourly, and I am backing up my whole home folder, including hidden files, so there are many folders and thousands of files.

Dan (danleweb) said :

So maybe it does take a lot of time to compare with the old snapshot.
Can you run from command line: backintime -b
and see how long it takes.

I am having the same problem as is described above. I am only backing up a single directory that is about 60MB. it seems to work fine using backintime -b and only takes a few seconds. I am using Kubuntu Karmic and BiT is installed from the repositories.

As I am writing this I am thinking that maybe I should just reinstall because I initially had it installed from the project repos before updating to Karmic. I will report back.

Update: I reinstalled the program and it is still getting hung up. This time it appeared to be hung up on a file that was open for editing.

Could you run it "backintime -b" in a terminal and reply the outcome?

On this run it did not hang up. As far as I can tell it only hangs when run using the scheduler, and then now everytime.

Any thoughts?

That last entry should have end with "not everytime"

Is there anything I can look at when it hangs to help identify what the problem is? I have just been killing backintime and python to stop it.

Bart de Koning (bratdaking) said :

Could you search in your syslog for backintime rsync output? There is the
output of the scheduled jobs (and manual too) stored...

What do you exclude? An option could be to exclude the .gvfs folder, that
causes many problems lately...

Cheers,
Bart

Sorry for the slow response... backintime -b works fine and the automated backups only stick sometimes (my install is from the Karmic repository). I am using default excludes (but have removed .*).

Ok, so I was able to look at the system log while it was stuck and here is
what I found:

2009-11-11 20:00:01 matt-laptop CRON[2800] (matt) CMD (nice -n 19

Typically when the run is successful it only takes a few seconds to run
because the directory it is backing up is not very large.

As far as the .gvfs directory is concerned, in my case I don't think that it
is a problem because it is not in the directory that I am backing up. I
don't seem to be able to add it as an exclude though. I am familiar with
the problem with .gvfs because i use rsync to duplicate my /home dir to
another computer on the network and the permissions of the .gvfs dir were
causing a problem in the past.

Also, it appears that the problem with it freezing only occurs when it is
run using cron. If I run it from the terminal or manually from the gui, it
never freezes (hasn't yet anyway).

OK I think I know the problem: you are running the KDE version don't you?
Can you tell us whether the problem typically occurs when the screen is
locked?

Bart,

Thank for your continued attention to this issue.

Yes I am running the KDE version. As far as the screen being locked, It
regularly happens when the screen is not locked. I'm runnig it on a laptop
and I normally shut it down or suspend it when I am not using it so the
screen doesn't usually get locked while the computer is on.

Many thanks again - I am also running the KDE version and my system is set so that it doesn't lock.

Cron run the command: "nice -n 19 /usr/bin/backintime --backup-job".
Can you please try to run it like this from a terminal ?
