Auto Configuration Backup fails after WAN IP change
-
@stephenw10 so there's no .tmp file.
Backup dir looks normal (I guess) with each xml file being 9.1MB and being created at 04:48 as per schedule (the ACME service also seems to trigger a backup at 03:16 every third day).
I've run the latest xml file through a validator and it seems fine. So I am still at a loss as to why my backup uploads to acb.netgate.com are failing...

Yes, it pretty much has to be the backend rejecting it. I'll poke our guys again.
-
My typical config-xxx.xml files are 650 Kbytes or so for a 24.11 on a 4100.
9+ Mbytes seems a lot to me. -
@Gertjan The xml files seem to include the rrddata. If I make a manual backup without rrddata the size is ~380 Kb.
There doesn't seem to be an option in the ACB config page to include/exclude rrd data like there is on the manual Diagnostics > Backup/Restore...
-
Since I can't thumb up ATM. Anyways.
I'm having this same issue as codersaur.
Look forward to the fix. For now disabled.
Netgate 4200 24.11

@williamrolison When did it start failing and can you correlate with any changes on your side? If yours also started failing around 20th Jan that might indicate a server-side change and rule out the WAN IP change a factor. Conversely, if you also had a WAN IP change that might also help track down the root cause.

Started for me on Feb 13. Feb 11 was when IP changed.
-
The encrypted files uploaded to acb always exclude RRD data so that file size should be no issue. But clearly something is....
-
@stephenw10 is there any progress update on this issue? Thanks.
-
Nothing yet. I'll see if our IT guys found anything.....

Have they found anything? Backup is still failing every day.
-
@stephenw10 bump. Still failing...
-
Sorry let me find out what we can do....

Were you able to find anything out?
-
Nope I still have nothing. Let me push harder...
-
OK are you still seeing this now? There were some back end changes.

Just tried now. Still failing.

A manual backup just worked for me now.
And I see it did a few on it's own when I re-renabled, as expected.
Test 1 is me hitting the "Backup now" button. The other 3 is it doing it's thing.
Edit: Installed wireguard as well to be sure it would backup before hand, and it did :)
So works for me now, Thanks!

OK, we'll keep digging then.
