Backups are backing up previous backups (Recursively)

[alex-cardenas]

Organizr Version: V2.1.2330

Branch: v2-master

WebServer: nginx/1.20.2

Operating System: unraid

---

Problem Description:

Backups are also backing up previous backups leading to increasingly larger file sizes.

---

Reproduction Steps:

Go to Settings > Backup
Manually create a backup
Note File size
Manually create another backup
Notice file size increase
Repeat.
I have mine set on cron weekly and to keep 20 backups. I got up to 152gb for my latest backup (for a total backup folder size of 300gb) before I noticed.

Dupe of #1891 , you need to update

[alex-cardenas]

I'm pulling this from DockerHub (through Unraid) and the last update was in May by rodexus. Every time I open OrganizrV2, I get the update notification but that is within the container and doing any of the following does nothing: clicking the notification's update now button, going to Settings > Main > Github > Force Install Branch, (from Unraid side) Force update; none of those actually update since, I think, it's pulling from dockerhub

Restart the container and check the container logs, it sounds like you got a lock file that's preventing the update script from actually working. If there is a lock file, remove it and either restart the container again or click the update popup in the settings.

Checking the logs did show a lock file "index.lock" in a .git folder. I removed that it seems to have updated successfully - thank you.
