Hello,
This warning message indicates that a *resumable backup*, labeled
20250425-115723F, already exists from a previous attempt. The backup system
has detected it and will do the following:
-
*Remove any invalid or corrupted files* from that existing backup
attempt.
-
*Resume* the backup from where it left off, rather than starting over.
This is a *normal and expected message* if a previous backup was
interrupted (due to system shutdown, network error, etc.). It helps avoid
wasting time and resources by reusing valid parts of the incomplete backup.
If you're concerned or just reviewing logs, you generally *don’t need to
take action* unless:
-
The resume process fails.
-
The backup system repeatedly logs this message without completing.
-
You're unsure if the resumed backup will be reliable (e.g., after a
crash).
Would you like help verifying the integrity of the resumed backup once it
finishes?
Else, DELETE the failed backup and take/run fresh backup.
rm -rf /var/lib/pgbackrest/backup/your_stanza_name/20250425-115723F
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul Sayeed
