Hi Nicholas,

Sorry to bother you again, but since two days I have an issue using Remote CLI. I make daily backups of a little over 20 websites. Since 2 days I het the follwing error on two of my backup jobs:

Error #106: Could not delete files of backup record XX -- 500 : Invalid backup record identifier
(XX beging the record id of the affected job)

It started with one job, the night before, and last night two jobs were affected. The thing both jobs have in common, is that Akeeba Backup was updated to version 3.5.1. From the first job I'm not sure which version it was updated from. From the second I'm quite sure it was updated from version 3.4.3.

To check if the update may have casued the problem, I updated another site from 3.4.3 to 3.5.1 and created a new for that site backup. This time the same error occured as for the other two jobs.

I use Remote CLI 1.2beta4. Beacsue you made a few adjustments on my behalf some time ago and I spent quite some time to get my wrapper script running, I have been hesitant to update. The Remote CLI command used to create the backups is:

php remote-1.2beta4.phar --host=http://domain.tld --secret=SECRET --nocolor --quiet --action=backup --profile=1 --download --dlmode=curl '--dlpath=\MyNasbackupakeebadomain.tld' --dlurl=ftp://ftp_user:[email protected]:21/public_html/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup --delete

I have a few questions:
- Is my assumption correct that upgrading to Akeeba Backup 3.5.1 causes this problem?
- Will updating Remote CLI to the latest version solve the problem?
- Do you think I can safely update Remote CLI 1.2 from beta4 to stable, without my wrapper script needing major adjustments?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Pieter-Jan

Yes, definitely a bug in Akeeba Backup. Please try the latest dev release where I've fixed that issue.

Hi Nicohlas,

Thanks for the reply. I prefer not to install a dev release on production sites. Any idea when the next stable release will be available?

I don't expect a new release to be available any sooner than 1-2 months. FWIW, the current dev release is identical to the stable 3.5.1 version with only two bug fixes:
- [LOW] Import Archives did not parse directory variables like [DEFAULT_OUTPUT] and [SITEROOT]
- [LOW] You could no longer delete backup files or records through the JSON API
It's called alpha by convention. These bug fixes where 1 line and 2 line changes respectively. 3.5.0 to 3.5.1 was about 50 times bigger change than that :)

I tried the latest dev release (svn1542) on one of the sites, but unfortunately the problem is not solved.

Damn, I replaced one bug with another. OK, this time I tested the solution and posted a new dev release.

The latest dev release (svn1544) solves the problem. Thank you very much for the swift support.
