BackendError: File or folder already exists #98
Description
I have setup borg 2.0.0.b14 with an rclone remote that in turn uses the PCloud service. Repository version: 3; Append only: False; Encrypted: Yes (repokey ChaCha20-Poly1305)
I encounter the following error:
Local Exception
Error:
BackendError: rclone rc command failed: error 500: {
"error": "failed to make directory: pcloud error: File or folder already exists. (2004)",
"input": {
"fs": "pcloud:User/Backup/borg/",
"remote": "data/ff/a2"
},
"path": "operations/uploadfile",
"status": 500
}
The error does not happen again when restarting the backup but it might crash later due to the same error but for a different folder within data/.... Logging in to the PCloud web interface, I saw that the mentioned folder (data/ff/a2) is empty.
Further log output:
