Backup failing if there are Multiple repo pointing to the shared ARCHIVE location

Couchbase Server
1

Hello - I am trying to do a weekly full backup and incremental in for the other days, the logic i am doing is creating a new ARCHIVE at /data location with that i am dynamically appending the date when the full backup is taken,
so it looks like /data/Aug-12-21019 and next week it will automatically create /data/Aug-19-2019 and so on …when i tried doing this i am getting this below error which is not much informative and would like to see if this approach is possible or not, suggestions plz

Hello @diggerlearner,

To be able to help you, we require few more details:

  • What versions of Couchbase Server are you using?
  • Are the files and directories being edited out side of cbbackupmgr?
  • Can you share the script/code snippet that is being used to control cbbackupmgr

Cheers,
Patrick

Thanks ,
CB version -5.0.1
NO edit has been performed on directories/file level.
for point no.3 i did this in 2 steps.
First i went on one of the box and ran config to create one repo “test”
and than i ran an automaton script attached below , where i got an error

start_week=date +"%b-%d-%Y" -d
last_week=date +"%b-%d-%Y" -d
CB_INSTALL_DIR- MY binary location
CB_ARCHIVEis /data/{start_week} sudo {CB_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/cbbackupmgr config -a {CB_ARCHIVE} --repo test sudo {CB_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/cbbackupmgr backup -a ${CB_ARCHIVE} --repo test --cluster host_ip
