While setting up duply for backup I am facing the following problem:

Duply should backup a directory (/ruby-webapps/webapp-map/postgesqldata) to another local backup directory(/backup/webapp_database).

For setting up the config I used puppet which generated following duply config:

/etc/duply/webapp_database/conf

GPG_KEY='disabled'
GPG_KEY_SIGN='disabled'
TARGET='file:///backup/webapp_database'
TARGET_USER='root'
TARGET_PASS=''
SOURCE='/'
MAX_FULL_BACKUPS=4
MAX_FULLBKP_AGE=7D
DUPL_PARAMS="$DUPL_PARAMS --full-if-older-than $MAX_FULLBKP_AGE "
VOLSIZE=50
DUPL_PARAMS="$DUPL_PARAMS --volsize $VOLSIZE

"

/etc/duply/webapp_database/exclude:

+ /ruby-webapps/webapp-map/postgesqldata
- **

After running:

duply lberg_database cleanup_backup_purgeFull --force

In the home dir of the backup user the backup is created at: @root:/backup/webapp_database

How can I backup to /backup/webapp_database?

unset or do not set

TARGET_USER=''

credentials are not needed when writing to a local file:// target.

that's a bug and will be fixed in duply. thx..ede/duply.net

  • if leave TARGET_USER='' blank it will be just a folder called @ in the home of root BUT with #TARGET_USER='' it backups to the directory specified in TARGET='/backup/web_app/'. can you change your answer to 'do not set' than i mark it as solved. thx – prototyp Dec 10 '16 at 19:27
