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:
$ weikio settings getOn a hub server, in the stack’s folder, check that the backup service runs and read its log:
$ docker compose ps backup
$ docker compose logs backupHow 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:
$ 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.
