Microlite BackupEdge again...

Info: Restore Failed With Exit Code 64

Helpful error message when attempting an Expert restore today - pulling back an inadvertently deleted file from last nights backup created with Microlite BackupEdge

What it actually meant to say was :

Info: Restore Failed - unable to create directory in restore location.

If you try to restore without selecting Flat Restore AND if a file with the same name as the folder you're attempting to restore exists in the Restore To: path, you'll get this error.

A nice exciting new error in Microlite BackupEdge today.
af token exists before mount

Got this error in edgemenu when we attempted to access a usb disk which was setup as an attached file system af0, using a file system partition fsp0.

Turned out that once again there were left over files in the mount point:
/usr/lib/edge/system/mnt/af0

Moved the .edge_af file to /tmp and it's all working again now!

I wish the firm would make the change to using the smartdrive method, it's certainly less problematic in my experience.

AF Unmount Command Failed / AF Token File Missing

Using Microlite BackupEDGE getting the following error:

Command was: "umount /usr/lib/edge/system/mnt/af0"
Reason is AF Unmount Command Failed          

Setup all looks OK in edgemenu - default resource is:
 fsp!fsp0 (/fsp0) (Directory Resource) 

Using USB HDD as backup media, which can be mounted and unmounted without problems.

Found that the backup was actually going into the directory mentioned in the unmount command. There shouldn't be anything in that folder. Removed the contents and ran the scheduled backup.
New error :

Generic System Error
Reason is AF Token File Missing

Initialised the media - didn't help.
Make sure af0 is empty still.

Rebooted - errors gone, backup ran through OK.
Strange!

-update-
seems that removing the following file will negate the need to reboot and is likely the whole cause of the problem - this file is used to track the mount status. It gets 'mounted' even though the device isn't mounted, then it never attempts to mount and creates the backup in the folder, rather than the USB drive.

/usr/lib/edge/system/locks/af0.lck

You DO still need to initialise the media.
