Failed to create hard link #97

I get the following error message in the logs when running in Unraid:
I'm trying to backup multiple databases (names are comma separated), and it errors out after the first backup attempt. So it looks like I get a daily backup of the first db in the list, but it can't create the link in the weekly folder. |

You should use POSIX-compliant filesystem (like ext4, xfs, ...) for the backup files. We would appreciate if you can confirm this is the case and confirm that it works with ext4 or similar POSIX-compliant filesystem. |

I changed my backup location to an unassigned disk with ext4 filesystem and it now works flawlessly. I'm still not sure why it did not work when backing up to my Unraid array (which is xfs) but that seems to have been the cause. |

It should work with XFS, it might be some mount options issue. I close this issue, since it has been fixed for you. |

I undestand that you might be using FAT32 or similar...
