"An existing backup task is already running, please wait for it to complete." for more than 3 days

Hey I hope you all fine.

It’s been 3 days I have this error message: “An existing backup task is already running, please wait for it to complete.”

Do you know what should I do?

(I am using FTP backup)

Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Hi @Botefa

And the backup is still running?

ps -ef | grep -E '[b]ackup|[p]zstd |[t]ar |[g]zip '

If it is not running, remove it from scheduled task and you will be able to do the backup again (replace YourUser by the actual user):

sed -i "/v-backup-user YourUser /d" /usr/local/hestia/data/queue/backup.pipe

It returns nothing

Il also returned nothing haha, and I did the first command again, and first command also returned nothing

It’s ok if both commands return nothing. Now you shouldn’t see the error message

Oh okay thank you so much, I clicked again on create, I’m waiting, though I think nothing is happening at the moment

yeah I think there is an issue somewhere, back up is still not there and error is back

Remove the scheduled task again (remember to replace YourUser):

sed -i "/v-backup-user YourUser /d" /usr/local/hestia/data/queue/backup.pipe

Launch backup manually as root (replace YourUser by the actual user) and show the output:

/usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-user YourUser

Ohhh thanks I think I see now!

root@cp:~# /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-user xx
Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded
Error: not enough disk space available (44559 mb) to perform the backup of xx. ( 52615 mb * 2 = 105228 mb).

Is there a way to bypass that since I want to backup to another ftp that has 600gb? (I already configured it)

I’m SOOOO impressed with the support you guys give :slight_smile:

Keep up the good work. I wish I could contribute somehow :slight_smile:

It creates a local backup first… Then copies the file over to remote server and deletes the original…

Keep up the good work.
