Hi
just realized that on the latest release the backup log is empty. Previously at the end a dialog box was shown with the log now it only shows, see screenshot.
Release notes state that:
Transfer logs are now done to dietpi-backup.log inside of the backup directory. This way they remain persistent even if DietPi-RAMlog is enabled and can be reviewed at a later time.
BUT the log there shows the same as in the attached screenshot…
means the log file inside your backup locations is empty?
I get this:

The issue seems to be here:
[ INFO ] DietPi-Backup | Backup to /mnt/dd6b05a5-a3bb-429a-95a8-b2cf5189f7ff/dietpi-backup in progress, please wait...
rsync: [client] failed to open log-file /mnt/dietpi-backup/dietpi-backup.log: No such file or directory (2)

Current backup and restore location: /mnt/dd6b05a5-a3bb-429a-95a8-b2cf5189f7ff/dietpi-backup
so this: rsync: [client] failed to open log-file /mnt/dietpi-backup/dietpi-backup.log: No such file or directory (2)
make sense as the backup is not there!
indeed, probably an issue on the script. I need to recheck with the developer. Thy for sharing the issue btw.
“Glad” to report. Let me know if there is a fix.
Thx!
question: is there a log file available inside backup location?
ls -la /mnt/dd6b05a5-a3bb-429a-95a8-b2cf5189f7ff/dietpi-backup
the error is not about creating the backup log. It’s more an issue of rsync not being able to backup the file.
P.S: This log file is created by the backup job.
P.P.S. I had the new automatic cron backups ON. Turned them off…
Don’t know if this caused it but this was the only thing I changed in the config after installed the new dietpi-update
no issue seems to be introduced with the last update. Will submit a GitHub issue
I have 5 Dietpi installations running:
2 pi4
2 vmware vm’2
1 x86 pc
Only the 2 vm’2 give no error because I se the default path: /mnt/dietpi-backup/data
The 2 pie’s and the pc habve external backup storage and show this issue.
Perhaps this helps.
