backup is returning this error every time, but the backup file is created.

Error 500 signal: broken pipe

Not sure if the backup file is of any good.

how can i verify that without actually doing a restore (which might mess up the setup if it is corrupt).

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 974569472 Apr 7 08:53 backup-2015-04-07-144908.tgz

looks like it is a docker image backup. so there is no more backup for configurations only like in zenoss 4 (much smaller, usually just a few MB).

thanks!

it needs > 6GB of space to create a backup that is almost 2GB

still would like to find a way to backup just the configurations, if at all possible.

The configurations are stored in the mariadb database, that said backing up and restoring an application as complex as Zenoss is tricky. This makes a snapshot of a known good condition a much more desirable alternative.

Hi all!

There are any procedure to do backup config only But I thought an alternative doing a dump of Mariadb configuration tables ( if it exists ) .... I want to restore all except the events.
