I am running InfluxDB influxdb:2.4.0 as a docker container where I have five organizations (default, A, B, C, D), and inside each organization, I have 2 buckets that have a data retention one is 6 months and one bucket as 2 years.
Now I am trying to create the backup at the organization level for each bucket.
For a few buckets, I am able to create the backup.
and it doesn’t show any data.
I am passing the correct admin token for the default organization it’s working for a few buckets in a few orgs but not for a few in the same orgs.
@Ravikant_Gautam I’ve never seen this behavior before. Is there something the in common between the buckets that won’t successfully back up? Are these the buckets with the 2 year retention period? What are your system resources (RAM, CPU, disk, etc.) looking like while trying to perform the backup?
As far as I know, the metadata includes shard and datatype information, but it may include more. By chance, in these buckets, are there potentially fields that changed types at some point (across shards)?
I don’t have a deep understanding of the backup mechanics so what help I can offer is limited. This may be something worth creating an issue for on the InfluxDB repo.
