Hi. I am running Influxdb 2.1 on a pi4 in docker. I am trying to create a backup via command line Influx CLI 2.2.1 (git: 31ac783) build_date: 2021-11-09T21:24:22Z. The command is: docker exec influx influx backup \ [path here] \ -t [token here] then the backup starts, but 18 shards are “removed…

If anybody has a clue about it, I would still like to hear it. I have now 78 shards and still the same error :frowning:

Recovery of the data failed :frowning: ts=2022-01-23T19:42:20.649119Z lvl=info msg="Resources opened" log_id=0ZDuJhHl000 service=kvstore-bolt service="restored bolt" path=/var/lib/influxdb2/influxd.bolt.tmp ts=2022-01-23T19:42:21.118195Z lvl=info msg="index opened with 8 partitions" log_id=0ZDuJhHl…

I got the same today (using 2.1.1) . Is it possible that the shard that are being removed are not supposed to be there in the first place? I mean, that those shared should have been deleted because, for example, they fall outside of the Retention policy? Has anyone checked this?
