ERROR: rsnapshot returned 0.08984375 while processing....

I have rsnapshot set up to run daily via systemd.

I notice that I've been getting weird errors with this (it does seem to be making backups though....):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/bin/rsnapshot daily 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 0.08984375 while processing /
ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 0.08984375 while processing /run/media/user/some/directory
ERROR: /usr/bin/rsync returned 0.08984375 while processing /run/media/user/some/other/directory
mysqldump: Got error: 1049: "Unknown database 'mydatabase'" when selecting the database

I don't find anything via Google when searching for "/usr/bin/rsync returned 0.08984375"

Does anyone have any idea why this would be occurring?

Interestingly enough, this popped up in another thread recently: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1560210

There is a very detailed explanation as to why this happens further in the topic.

EDIT: whether or not it assists you in finding a solution, I don't know.

Exactly the same error here while running a backup. The posted link doesn't really help.

The posted link seems to offer an explanation of why it happens; it doesn't help in fixing it.  But my backups appear to be being done properly, despite the error.

The error happened here, too. Is the link to the other thread correct? I'm asking, because I only get the "Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated." page.

Nevertheless can the problem be circumvented by downgrading rsnapshot. I returned to version 1.4.0-1 for now and everything works as it should again.

Re: ERROR: rsnapshot returned 0.08984375 while processing....

I don't use rsnapshot myself so I cannot help you very much, but that message indicates that rsync exited with the exit code 23, which means "Partial transfer due to error". The previous version of rsnapshot seems to work only because it just ignores rsync exit codes (it seems that the feature was added only in august https://github.com/bebehei/rsnapshot/co … d04009bb12).

If I were in  you, I would check the permissions of the files listed in the error message, then try to backup them manually with rsync in verbose mode and check for a more meaningful error message.

PS:

The link is correct, but you have to be logged in in order to view the page.

Re: ERROR: rsnapshot returned 0.08984375 while processing....

Thank you very much, mauritiusdadd! Your post got me thinking, so I checked a few things in /etc/rsnapshot.conf.

My configuration is working now without any errors with rsnapshot version 1.4.1-1. What I did was, follow the corresponding Wiki-Page, uncommented the suggested commands, and changed this:

# If this is enabled, rsync won't span filesystem partitions within a
# backup point. This essentially passes the -x option to rsync.
# The default is 0 (off).
#
one_fs          1

I also edited verbose and loglevel to 5 for the moment, so when errors occur, I could better analyze them. But everythings seems to be good for the moment, what a integrity check also confirms.

Ok, here is the actual error in the journal logs:

The only thing that actually looks like an error is:

...
Nov 07 10:05:17 sindhu rsnapshot[1925]: rsync: link_stat "/media/turing/BACKUPS/SINDHU/productions/*" failed: No such file or directory (2)

...

I don't know what "productions" is. It's not part of the backup (I get this same error message for each of the separate backup options/locations). I even tried creating a directory in the location called "productions", but I still get the same error.

If I run rsync by hand, I don't get any errors.

Re: ERROR: rsnapshot returned 0.08984375 while processing....

Can you post your /etc/rsnapshot.conf?

Nov 07 10:05:17 sindhu rsnapshot[1925]: --exclude=/home/*/.cache/deadbeef/* --exclude=/home/*/.cache/moonchild\ \
Nov 07 10:05:17 sindhu rsnapshot[1925]: productions/* --exclude=/home/*/.local/share/Trash/* \

It seems that productions/* is spawn in between the --exclude options. Also the url in each --exclude option is terminated with a wildcard except the one preceding the entry productions/*... could it be that you wanted to exclude from the backup the path "/home/*/.cache/moonchild productions/*" but you forgot to escape the withespace?

--exclude=/home/*/.cache/moonchild\ productions/*

--edit:
Ohh, well... it seems that the whitespace is indeed escaped

Maybe that's not the right way of escaping white space in rsnapshot.conf?  I'll look into it. It does seem to be concerned with that bit. Thanks

JFYI. In FreeBSD a broken link caused the error. Thank you for the hints.
