Greetings ClearOS Forums,
long time between drinks and WOW, what a flash new website.

Thanks to a RAID array failure, i've had to rebuilt my COS6.6 server. No biggie, didn't take long. My question at hand, I've configured "Baremetal Backup and Restore". Detected USB-Storage Devices is a 1TB external drive which is spot on. The drive status is "Ready". Backup schedule set for 1am. The Last 10 Bare Metal Backup Log Messages all read "myserver bmbackup: bmbackup warning: could not retrieve old backup file names" and there are no Archives to be Restored available.

This has been running for almost a fortnight. I've initialized the external drive and it's all good.

the USB drive was being used previously by the server which had a drive failure. I didn't use the previous Baremetal Restore to rebuild the server as I was after the Zarafa mail store.

Any hints how I could kick start the backups once again?

As always, thanks in advance
In Backup

    Can anyone help with this? It appears the backups are on the drive, they are just not showing in the dashboard.

    Any response to this? I ran into the EXACT same thing with a raid failure and had to reinstall/re-setup from scratch.

    Same error: bmbackup: bmbackup warning: could not retrieve old backup file names

    Thank you for any help...
