Incremental backup not working (normal backup does)

Hello,
I set up backup (it’s working) on a remote backup.
I tried to setup incremential backup, but i have the following error
Unable to open restic backup. It might not exist or key is incorrect"

The destination folder exists (i created it), but i still have this message.
I tried to find the solution without success so far… is anyone using incremential backup ? how ?

Also (bonus question) is it possible to make incremential backup daily + full backyp weekly ? If so, how ?

Thanks alot :slight_smile:

I came to post the exact same message as this post. I had the same issue and same results. Following.

Just like to add that there is no way to stop the incremental backup from Control Panel. So it will keep sending error emails. So tried to silent the email notification but couldn’t find where to disable this.

Hope this helps you, I had also problem with incremental backups which I decided to set up for 30 on testing server and they followed to production.-disk full ;(
Unfortunately I do not remeber by hart the configuration value file on hestia cp try grep. If I would have to guess it’s on /usr/local/hestia/conf/restic

That solves question 1 imho. For adding it to cp gui just take a look for template files, copy field values to your own template and use that clone in the future.

sorry can not help more, sick at home in the middle of no where.

I do agree that it is dangerous not to see those values in admin panel but also dangerous to add them in web gui perhaps just to echo current values and path where they can be found would be wiser. I am an old relic and do not like modern webgui vunerabilites ( not hestias but other) too much like Bootstraps latest…

Keep up the good work jolly Hestia folks & users.

Sorry I will clarify little my very fuzzy explanation, high fever makes me even more moron tha usually.

Hestia changed access key policies and I think the accees keys needs to be made with the original administrator name. Otherwise gives that warning.
