When trying to make backups the process gets interrupted

I am trying to test couchbase enterprise edition 5.5

In my tests i am trying to do a full backup but it seems something happens in that process.

This is what i get :

2018-10-07 20:17:55,073: w0 no response for 30 seconds while there 1024 active streams
[ ] 0.1% (37151/estimated 34631186 msgs)
bucket: logs, msgs transferred…
: total | last | per sec
byte : 7103643 | 7103643 | 214181.1
done

Has anyone had this problem before ? Or do you have any ideea what it means ?

Hi @ciprian,

Are you using the command line tool to perform a backup? Could you show exactly what the command is that you’re typing? Do you get the same error on a smaller bucket?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I am using the following command : ./cbbackup couchbase://127.0.0.1:8091 /backups/10 -u SomeUser -p SomePassword -m full

I did not try on a small backet. But i think the error will not appear. On the big bucket sometimes i even reach 40%

2018-10-30 19:24:43,594: w0 no response for 30 seconds while there 1024 active streams

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi @ciprian,

Is it possible that you are running cbbackup multiple times at once? If so, there is an outstanding issue around that. Loading...

If not, then we’ll need to create a new ticket. Could you please try it on a small bucket just to confirm that this only occurs for a large bucket? Could you also tell me what operating system you are using (and version information), as well as how many nodes are in your Couchbase cluster?

Hi @matthew.groves,

I am very sure that only one instance if cbbackup is running,

The small bucket looks ok, but i had less than 100.000 records. Should i try with more?

I have just one node .

Hello @ciprian,

The error message means that cbbackup did not receive any data from the cluster. Would it be possible to run the command again with -vvv to increase the verbosity of the logging. It would also be worth checking the server side logs. The memcached.log will show what is happening with the cbbackup connection.

Hi @pvarley,

I did as you said and here are the logs :
memcached.zip (82.7 KB)

Thanks for the help

Hey @pvarley , @matthew.groves any new ideeas about this? Or any other suggestions ?

The same happened to me.

w0 no response for 30 seconds while there 1024 active streams.

Any advises or perhaps suggestions?

@ciprian Can you try this on Couchbase Server 6 please. I suspect you might be hitting MB-31481 where in rare cases the server does not send the snapshot end marker.

@pvarley I have already tried it. No joy. Still the same issue.

hey guys, any new ideas on this one ?

I’m using Couchbase Server Community Edition 6.0.0 build 1693 and I’m facing the same issue.
Can anyone help us?
