TrueCloud Backup - Restic Repository - Locked

Description

TrueCloud Backup Task FAILS due to repository being locked.

I see that TrueCloud Backup Tasks is using ‘restic’ as it’s backup tool. I’m well familiar with restic.

I can successfully use my restic cli to connect to my Storj bucket and unlock the repository. So, fixing the problem is easy for those of us familiar with restic and storj.

However, this tool should not require a user to know that.

Three situations I’ve seen where Restic Repository being left in a locked state:
TrueNAS reboot during backup in progress
Power failure during backup progress
Sometimes, even when I manually ‘stop’ the backup process from the Tasks list

I imagine the tool would be designed for these situations and is failing.

If it is not already, the backup tool should be automatically cleaning up stale locks, not ALL locks, but the stale ones.

With restic, stale locks are cleared using “restic unlock”. You can also remove ALL locks using “restic unlock --remove-all” but that is more aggressive and rarely needed.

For TrueNAS, there should be a process were if the backup fails, then “restic unlock” should be run, and the backup retried.
