What it means#

The hub hasn’t taken a backup for longer than twice its backup interval. Without a recent backup, a restore after a lost server goes back further than you planned.

What raises it#

No backup taken by the backup service or by weikio-backend backup is newer than twice the installation’s backupEvery setting. A new installation counts from when it was created. The detail gives the newest backup.

What to check#

See the backup interval, how many archives the server keeps and where they’re copied:

Terminal

$ weikio settings get

On a hub server, in the stack’s folder, check that the backup service runs and read its log:

Terminal

$ docker compose ps backup
$ docker compose logs backup

How to fix it#

Start the backup service again when it stopped, or take a backup by hand on a hub server, in the stack’s folder:

Terminal

$ docker compose run --rm infra weikio-backend backup --to <folder>

The problem clears as soon as the hub records the new backup. A stack written with --dev has no backup service, so on a development hub the problem shows until you take backups by hand.
