Include patterns during backup extraction

[Golddouble]

During restoring my Backup I got some warnings:

Does this just mean, that this folders were empty and so there were no files from this folders to restore?

Thank you.

Looks like it's missing a leading /? Which leads to this folder not being found.

[Golddouble]

I do not understand. For example in
'home/Golddouble/My files/systems/This are my favourite/elements'
There were files and folders in the archiv, that I have restored. And also I have this folders and archives in my files system after the restore. So it looks as if all has worked as it should work.

Looks like it's missing a leading /? Which leads to this folder not being found.

Where could such a "/" be missing? In my real filesystem or in the archive?

[bastiencyr]

Every absolute paths start with a '/'
So its not "home/Golddouble/foo" but "/home/Golddouble/foo"

[Golddouble]

Thank you. I understand now which "/" you mean.

But my archive was big. Here is another example of my Vorta.Log:

Question: It looks like for example according to the line:

2021-10-15 18:56:53,452 - vorta.borg.borg_thread - INFO - home/Golddouble/my collection/systems/Versuche mit xml import/stats/topicprioritymissed.dat

...here is no "/" missing.

But why should in this archive be a "/" missing before the lines with the warning, but not be a "/" missing before the other lines?
They both have the same beginning and the archive was created at the same time.

[bastiencyr]

Can you post a screenshot of your source folder tab please.

...here is no "/" missing.

The '/' doesnt depend on us. Its how your filesystem of your Operating System (Linux or Mac) is built.

It's Linux.

[bastiencyr]

I cant help you more. Be sure that your folders are backup.

[m3nu]

I use this on macOS and works from what I see. Is this still an issue? If yes, have you tried testing your excludes with Borg directly and compare?

Actually I'm planning to redo this tab at some point and add excludes in a more structured way. Free text field isn't great and can cause errors. See #907 to weigh in, add more ideas or even add a PR.

Same problem here on Fedora 35 with Vorta 0.8.2
The path is missing the leading "/"
Only difference is that it won't come up as warning in the log, instead it seems to fail silently
Sometimes I feel stupid after reading what I wrote a few days prior

[m3nu]

Borg saves all paths as relative paths. So home/bob etc.

The OP's issue happens during extraction. The way extraction works in Vorta is that you get a tree of all paths and can check them one-by-one.

This isn't perfect, since we can't account for nesting very well.

If there is an issue with this extraction feature, we would want to see the logs from Misc > Log which would have the actual Borg command which is run.

OK. Here is the log-file:
/deleted/

The warnings you are getting are not an error, neither an issue. Actually, everything should be working fine and all files you wanted to extract should have been extracted. The warning is issued by borg and has the following reason:

When starting the extraction, vorta called borg with the archive to extract:

2022-01-20 14:56:19,425 - vorta.borg.borg_thread - INFO - Running command /usr/bin/borg extract --list --info --log-json /media/Golddouble/Seagate_2TB_ext4/Linux_Home/Vorta/MX_19_ganzes_Home_ohne_VMs::202201172057--- [...]

and paths to the files to extract:

[...] home/Golddouble/Supermemo Collections/systems home/Golddouble/Supermemo Collections/systems/ABC of SuperMemo 18.KNO [...]

Here you can see that borg is told to extract the systems directory and afterwards a file inside that directory. Borg therefore can't extract the file inside the folder after extracting the folder itself and issues the warning.
Vorta passes the folder and the file to borg because you ticked the checkboxes for both of them.

Thank you @real-yfprojects
