I followed the guide “Google Drive Regular Backup with rclone” to set up automated backups to Google Drive using rclone.
Everything works as expected for all newly created user accounts on this server.
However, I’m facing an issue with one specific user account that I migrated from my previous server (which was running the same OS and HestiaCP version).
The Problem:
-
When I trigger a backup for the migrated user:
-
The backup is created in
/backup(this part is working as intended) -
But the backup does not appear in the HestiaCP panel
-
And it does not get transferred to Google Drive via rclone
-
After triggering the backup once, the system continues to generate new backup files repeatedly, even without manual intervention
-
This continues until the server storage is completely full
-
If I disable rclone, the backup process completes correctly for the migrated user, with no issues
-
Additional Notes:
-
Only the migrated user is affected — all other users work fine with rclone and show backups in HestiaCP
-
rclone is correctly configured and functioning for other accounts
-
No visible errors appear in the HestiaCP interface
-
The issue appears to be specifically related to the interaction between rclone and this migrated user
