[SOLVED] Max Backups ignored

[RobFantini]

we have
/etc/vzdump.conf :

maxfiles: 2

/etc/pve/storage.cfg

cephfs: cephfs
        path /mnt/pve/cephfs
        content backup,iso,vztmpl
        maxfiles 2

yet after the backups done last night we have 3 dump files per vm .

this was not the case before this weeks debian package upgrades.

perhaps there is a bug to be reported?

we do use a custom script . so perhaps there were changes to vzdump and it is not getting parameters correct.

does anyone else see maxfiles ignored?[/code]

we do use a custom script . so perhaps there were changes to vzdump and it is not getting parameters correct.

what about your custom script? what does it do? could you post it here (if you're allowed)?

 

[RobFantini]

here is the script.

and here is output from backup log

hi,

i did not test your script but i took a quick look.

it looks like you're changing the names of the backups. maybe that has to do something with your issue.

can you try to take backups without your custom script to test if maxfiles is being ignored?

 

[RobFantini]

OK that must be why. thank you for the help.
