Hello,

i'm getting these warnings on push sync.

What does that mean or what's causing these?

How do i get rid of them ?

regards

Hi,
these are not warnings but rather these log lines inform that the backup snapshots within the listed range are older than the newest snapshot already present on the sync target and are therefore skipped. Only snapshots newer than the latest already present snapshot for each group will be synced. The same is also true for sync jobs in push direction.

ok. thanks. it seems there was another warning in that job, so i thought that job warning would result from this. now after another sync, i'm getting these message for every snapshot, so it looks now logical to me.

anyhow - wouldn't it make sense to log the group/vm name which is being skipped @Chris ? it lookd s little bit meaningless to me this way....

one more - why does it tell

2024-11-30T13:28:44+01:00: Found 17 groups to sync (out of 17 total)
but then
2024-11-30T13:28:44+01:00: Finished syncing root namespace, current progress: 16 groups, 0 snapshots
?

is group logging/calculation wrong? why 16 when there are 17 groups ?

furthermore - it would perhaps be helpful to print "warning" when a task/step is causing a warning, otherwise it's difficult to distinguish, what's causing the warning
