• Power supply used | Original Pi 5 Power supply
• SD card used | SSD

Additional Information (if applicable)

• Software title | dietpi-backup

Steps to reproduce

1. Execute manual backup from dietpi-backup utlity

Expected behaviour

• Backup completed successfully

Actual behaviour

• Error during backup procedure

Extra details

• In the log of the backup procedure i found this error:
  rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338) [sender=3.2.7]
• I started the backup before migrating from my Pi4 and it worked fine. After migrating to the Pi 5 it stopped working.

We would need the whole log from the backup. Should be possible to copy from SSH terminal.

@MichaIng it is the backup not the restore.

I splitted the entire log in 2 files:

• 1_dietpi-backup.log is the first part
• 2_dietpi-backup.log is the second

1_dietpi-backup.log
2_dietpi-backup.log

Here are the errors:

Is one of /mnt/myNASMedia or /mnt/mynas the (NFS) mount point you are backing this up to? "Host is down" seems self-explaining. If it really was down for 1 file write, at least this __pycache__ directory is unimportant, as it gets recreated automatically if missing. And the directory afterwards got created, as its content was successfully copied (and it is for manual code tests only).

The second one sounds more like an abandoned mount point? Please check df, your /etc/fstab or dietpi-drive_manager for obsolete mounts, which are not attached, respectively where the remote NFS server is down.

EDIT: And Merry Christmas. btw 🙂.

Yes I found the problem. It was the myNas disk that I removed a few months ago. On dietpi-driver-manager it wasn't displayed but I removed it by editing the file from: /etc/fstab.

The strange thing is that on the Pi 4 the backup still worked. I do not know the reason. Now I've solved it! Thanks and merry Christmas! I'm available if you need to do some tests on the Pi 5
