Summary | 0001245: Backup fails on VSS error for Win PC if "Google Drive File Stream" virtual drive is encountered | ||||
Description | The Bareos option "Drive Type = fixed" does not skip mounted virtual drives such as "Google Drive File Stream." As a result, if "Enable VSS = yes" is enabled and such a drive is encountered, backup fails. I'm using "File = /" for flexibility, so I can backup regardless of drive letter in use. I also do not want to use "Fail Job On Error = no," because I need jobs to fail on legitimate errors. I'm hoping this issue can be resolved with either (or all) of these changes: 1. Update the Bareos Windows backup client to properly ignore drives such "Google Drive File Stream;" 2. Add option to "Skip drive on VSS Error;" 3. Add option to "Continue without VSS if unsupported;" and/or 4. Update the "Enable VSS = yes" function to make it implicit as opposed to explicit. That way, if a drive does not support VSS, it is treated as a warning as opposed to an error. Thanks | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1. With a fully functional Bareos deployment, setup a Windows desktop for backup. 2. For the Windows desktop backup job: a) include "File = /" b) enable the features "Enable VSS = yes" c) enable "Drive Type = fixed" 3. If you don't have Google Drive, signup for one 4. Mount you Google Drive by setting up a "Google Drive File Stream" virtual drive per the instructions here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7491144?hl=en 5. Run the Windows desktop backup job | ||||
Additional Information | Here is an excerpt to my Windows desktop backup job definition: FileSet { Name = "Windows Desktop" Enable VSS = yes Include { File = / Options { Signature = SHA1 Drive Type = fixed IgnoreCase = yes verify = s1 checkfilechanges = yes compression = LZ4 } } } | ||||
