An issue with Backup - TASK ERROR: command '/usr/local/bin/vzdump-hook.pl job-init' failed: exit code 255

Hello everyone.

I'm having an issue with backup that driving me crazy. This is the error

INFO: HOOK: job-init INFO: oops, i got a weird phase that i dont recognize 'job-init' at /usr/local/bin/vzdump-hook.pl line 67. TASK ERROR: command '/usr/local/bin/vzdump-hook.pl job-init' failed: exit code 255

I think the issue was when I tried to use a hookup script to do a backup on google drive, but for some reason now every time I try to do a backup, the backup is run over this script even if this is not stated in the jobs file. How can i ignore this hook script and run backup normaly

 

[dcsapak]

the hookscript is defined globally for all jobs in /etc/vzdump.conf

How can I return this to normal state?

 

[dcsapak]

you can edit the file and remove the hookscript, but it's removed for all jobs then of course

Just to delete the content of the file or I need to include something in it?

 

[dcsapak]

you can remove the hookscript line then the other options are not changed (if there are any)

I removed the content from /etc/vzdump.conf and file is now empty. But again it's the same error and it is pointing to this script

/usr/local/bin/vzdump-hook.pl

This is the content of the script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# example hook script for vzdump (--script option)

use strict;

print "HOOK: " . join (' ', @ARGV) . "\n";

my $phase = shift;

if ($phase eq 'job-start' ||
        $phase eq 'job-end'  ||
        $phase eq 'job-abort') {

        my $dumpdir = $ENV{DUMPDIR};

        my $storeid = $ENV{STOREID};

        print "HOOK-ENV: dumpdir=$dumpdir;storeid=$storeid\n";

        if ($phase eq 'job-end') {
        system ("rclone delete --config /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --min-age 1w -vvvvv GSuite:backups/") == 0 ||
                die "Deleting old backups failed";
        }
} elsif ($phase eq 'backup-start' ||
         $phase eq 'backup-end' ||
         $phase eq 'backup-abort' ||
         $phase eq 'log-end' ||
         $phase eq 'pre-stop' ||
         $phase eq 'pre-restart' ||
         $phase eq 'post-restart') {

        my $mode = shift; # stop/suspend/snapshot

        my $vmid = shift;

        my $vmtype = $ENV{VMTYPE}; # lxc/qemu

        my $dumpdir = $ENV{DUMPDIR};

        my $storeid = $ENV{STOREID};

        my $hostname = $ENV{HOSTNAME};

        # tarfile is only available in phase 'backup-end'
        my $tarfile = $ENV{TARFILE};

        # logfile is only available in phase 'log-end'
        my $logfile = $ENV{LOGFILE};

        print "HOOK-ENV: vmtype=$vmtype;dumpdir=$dumpdir;storeid=$storeid;hostname=$hostname;tarfile=$tarfile;logfile=$logfile\n";

        # move tarfile to /backups directory in google drive
        if ($phase eq 'backup-end') {
        system ("rclone move -v --config /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf $tarfile GSuite:/backups") == 0 ||
                die "move tar file to gdrive failed";
        }

        # copy tarfile to /backups-log directory in google drive
        if ($phase eq 'log-end') {
                system ("rclone copy --config /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf $logfile GSuite:/backups-log") == 0 ||
                        die "copy log file to gdrive failed";
        }

} else {

        die "oops, i got a weird phase that i dont recognize '$phase'";

}

exit (0);

Ah, I found the solution. I had the line script: /usr/local/bin/vzdump-hook.pl in /etc/vzdump.conf so the hook file run with every backup:

I removed it and now all is working
