BUG: auto backup jobs not available in restore menu
-
@stephenw10
on my test machine, where i deleted all 99 backups, it is working.
on my production machine, where i still have 48 backups, it is not workingp.s. on the test machine, i do not see any of the backups i created yesterday.
++ deleted all backups on the production machine, and it still doesn't work

You won't see any backups created whilst this issue was in effect. Whilst to connection to the server was good and it was able to write out entries there was an error meaning they are not found for that device. Deleting entries will make no difference here.
Was the production box successfully creating backups until yesterday?
If you PM me the device key we can check if new backups are being received.

Have just run some manual backups with "test"
both report successof course....stupid me, disabled on the production while i was investigating.....it's working.
p.s. there seems to be some limitation/s on the size / characters of the "Revision Reason"
e.g. 20180822BaseBuildSnortBlockerNGNoSquidEnabled
this reports has being successful, but doesn't show in the restore list. I have already removed the +/- characters, so must be a size limitation -
So I think you're all good now yes?

@stephenw10 would be good to know exactly what the limitations are on the "Revision Reason" - thanks

Strange. The two test backups I did yesterday to confirm the problem showed up today. I haven't tried to restore them but they were in the list.

it's down again

Seems good here. No problem on any system I tested.
It looks like the key words that are rejected if used in the Revision Reason field are:
snortpfblockerminicronandmerged in config.Steve

That would explain why saving PfblockerNG settings doesn't end up in Services / Auto Configuration Backup / Restore :

Yes, probably. The new system will be much better in that respect. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9693
