prune-backups: invalid format

[jazzl0ver]

Hi,

root@vm-box-4:~# pveversion
pve-manager/6.3-3/eee5f901 (running kernel: 5.4.78-2-pve)

I cannot say the action from my side that caused this issue (probably, installing the latest updates), Proxmox backups stopped working. There's a letter from crond:

400 Parameter verification failed.
prune-backups: invalid format - value without key, but schema does not define a default key

vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS]

Its subject line:

Cron <root@vm-box-4> vzdump 107 --prune-backups 'HASH(0x5610c5811400)' --mode snapshot --compress zstd --quiet 1 --storage filer-1-images --mailto root@mydomain --mailnotification failure

Obviously, it's not working anymore b/c of that HASH stuff in prune-backups key. Any ideas how to get that fixed?

storage.cfg:

what does /etc/pve/vzdump.cron contain?

 

[jazzl0ver]

[fabian]

can you try removing that --prune-backups part from the first entry?

 

[jazzl0ver]

removed

 

[jazzl0ver]

What was the reason for that? The other entries still have that "HASH" stuff and won't run upon schedule..

 

[fabian]

ah sorry, I missed that the others also have it but sorted differently. please remove them from all the entries! they should not return with the current version when editing the jobs..

 

[Andrii.B]

We can't update a backupjob with option -maxfiles 3 or -prune-backups keep-last=3 using the API. The system return:
error during cfs-locked 'file-vzdump_cron' operation: value without key, but schema does not define a default key

How to fix it? This is some bug, we can't work.

pve-manager/6.3-3/eee5f901 (running kernel: 5.4.41-1-pve)

 

[Andrii.B]

-prune-backups keep-last=3 this option work for vzdump, but does not work for backup job. Why? How to set a backup limit?

 

[Andrii.B]

Anyone?

please include your version (pveversion -v), and which command/API call/GUI action you are doing EXACTLY

fixed in libpve-guest-common-perl 3.1-5, please upgrade to that (not yet available in pve-enterprise)..

 

[Andrii.B]

fixed in libpve-guest-common-perl 3.1-5, please upgrade to that (not yet available in pve-enterprise)..

Thank. I'll wait.

 

[Andrii.B]

fixed in libpve-guest-common-perl 3.1-5, please upgrade to that (not yet available in pve-enterprise)..

When it will be available?

 

[Andrii.B]

Still was not available in enterprise. When this bug will be fixed?

 

[fabian]

done now - sorry for the long wait!

 

[Andrii.B]

But it was not fixed in updated version

 

[fabian]

sorry.. took another look, and this also requires pve-manager >= 6.3-4 to be fully fixed, and that is held up in the qemu 5.2 migration at the moment..
