Backup failing

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.43.3.10828-720010828
Player Version#: 4.160.0
NAS: Synology DS920+
DSM Version: 7.3.2-86009

Plex backups recently (in the last week or so) began failing via HyperBackup. The backup log lists symbolic links (very symbolic) which I can’t pin to specific content to address. I was hoping to get some pointers on where to go next in my troubleshooting. If the group wants logs from Plex, let me know which and I’d be happy to post them.

The events I’m seeing:

I’ve a DS918+, DSM 7.3.2-86009 Update 3, Hyperbackup 4.2.2-4262.

I’m not seeing any errors backing up the Plex Data Folder to an external USB drive with Hyperbackup.

Some thoughts:

  1. If using multi-version backups, check the integrity of the existing backup.

  2. Verify Plex Data Folder ownership & permissions are correct.
    a) In Synology Control Panel → Notifications → E-mail tab → E-mail section, configure an e-mail sender so you will receive notifications when scheduled tasks complete. A Recipient Profile is not needed.
    b) Stop Plex Media Server
    c) Run Synology FAQ 32: Repairing the PlexMediaServer shared folder.

  3. Create a new backup
    As a test, create a new backup to a new location. Start with some of the smaller problematic locations, such as the Drivers or Cache subdirectories. Then, if successful, add additional problematic directories until they are all added or something goes wrong.

I don’t know about the system files but the errors for the metadata files are valid. However, Plex stopped using symbolic links some time ago. These are either really old files that haven’t been cleaned up or you are running a really old version of PMS. Do you have your system set to update and clean up unused metadata? This is in the Scheduled Task menu.

The system does perform the update and clean up so I’m not sure why this has only started happening in the last week or so.

As an update, I did a new app backup to a folder on the NAS and that completed successfully. I’m removing the old backup from the external drive now (I still have the test backup) and will try to create a new job on it. It’s been doing differential backups for at least five years - corruption is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Fix for a future search. This ended up being a failure in the external drive (the target for the backup).

Steps taken to troubleshoot it:

  • Unable to delete the target backup folder through File Station.
  • Ejected the external device (USB) and attempting to delete the folder via Windows File Manager. This also failed.
  • Chkdsk identified and corrected errors on the disk, which then allowed me to delete the locked folder structure.
  • The ability to backup was restored.

Dodged a bullet on this one with the absolutely INSANE prices of storage at the time of posting. If we manage to win the AI wars, I’m hoping I can buy a replacement drive.
