      I’ve recently upgraded from ZCP to Kopano 8.3.0 and I’m working out the kinks in the new backup system.

      First: I found that a worker_processes of 1 in the backup.cfg file took a ridiculous amount of time to complete. and 20 maxed out the box and made it un-usable. I finally settled on 10 which puts a heavy load on the server, but in the middle of the night, I don’t care.

      Second: I find that after I start the backup, even after the process appears to end, there at 10 additional kopano-backup threads running in the background - always.

      Third: I see these errors constantly in the backup.log file??

      2017-05-30 09:47:43,239 - backup8 - ERROR - Too many retries, skipping change

      Fourth: I’ve found that the kopano-backup executable doesn’t seem to work like the MAN page says it should. For instance:

      kopano-core:~# kopano-backup --help
      Usage: kopano-backup [PATH] [options]
      kopano-core:~# kopano-backup /srv/backup/brick-level-backup/
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/sbin/kopano-backup", line 6, in <module>
          sys.exit(kopano_backup.main())
        File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kopano_backup/__init__.py", line 703, in main
          assert len(args) == 0, 'too many arguments'
      AssertionError: too many arguments
      

      I guess I’m wondering what those errors mean? Why is the backup threads running forever? And am I doing something wrong?

        Hi @robertwbrandt,

        yes, it was the same with the old zarafa-backup. it uses one thread by default. the amount of threads you can use depends on your hardware, amount of users and configuration of server.cfg, so its hard to give a general recommendation.

        the path is needed when items should be restored from an existing set only. please have a look at the examples at the end of the man page, to see if this clears things up for you.
