Good morning Akeeba team!!

I am puzzled with an issue I have with one of my current backups.

Backups are correctly taken if I launch them from Akeeba Solo web interface, but when started through a cronjob, the backups are not sent to my remote storage.

After checking the logs I see that the problem is the Archive integrity check, which always fails when in the cronjob (see attached log).

I have 2 more other instances for other 2 similar sites of Akeeba Solo in the same server and all run through a cronjob (at different times with around 60 minutes between them) and quite similar in configuration and in the sites structure (quantity of image files and database size is probably the only difference).

I have tried changing the part size of the jpa with no results.

Is there a way to know why is the integrity check failing?

Thank you very much for your assistance!!

Hello,

the integrity test will try to extract your archive without writing any file to disk. Did you try to download the archive and restore it locally? Is it truly corrupted or not?

From there we can start working on the root issue

Trying to restore in a different server ends up with an error when the restoration is almost complete. Does kickstart have any kind of log that I can check?

First of all, update the Kickstart version you're using, you're more than 2 major versions behind :)

Then open the kickstart.php file and remove the comment on KS_DEBUG, then run the extraction again. A new debug file will be produced, zip it and attach it here. It should tell us where it is failing.

Hi Davide,

Wow!! Nice redesign!! I have checked with latest pro release and attached you may find the debug log.

Also taking a peek showed me a couple of file exclusions I can do to reduce the backup file.

In any case I'm not able to find the specific problem with my current knowledge so any input will be appreciated.

Best!!

It seems that the corrupted file is this one: /autoupgrade/backup/auto-backupfiles_V1.7.6.7_20201124-185029-2e9a45db.zip

If you look at the debug file, it seems that the file is spanning several archives since it's very large. I suspect such file changed in size while taking the backup, this is why you ended up with a corrupted archive.

There's no point in backing up other backups, I'd suggest you to exclude such folder and run another backup, your problems should be solved.

Hi Davide,

that is great news!! I actually noticed that file in the log too and I removed it from the serve as I totally agree with your conclussion. So that means that tomorrow my backup will go seamlessly and it will also beย  half size that it is now. All good news!!!

I will close this ticket tomorrow if everything goes well.

Best!!
