Dropbox suddenly stopped working

First of All,

All was working fine and no change has been made on the system (except regular updates). I figured out that dropbox stopped uploading the files. Is there any command to check it out what’s wrong? I suspect it might be an issue on my side such as, firewall issue.

Found out a command to take manual dropbox backups but gives me this message.
No module named backup_manager.backup_manager

@ferohers, if do you are using a updated version of the ERPNext or Frappe, can you provide a “Error Snapshot” from the dropbox routine?

Same here … nothing has changed except for the usual update through bench update. But not backup in Dropbox since the 24 December.
ERPNEXT 6.16.4, Frappe 6.17.6
Also it seems as I cannot find the error snapshot anymore. How can I find them?
Thanks
François

My dropbox stopped working since December 29th, I’ve backups upto 28th Dec in my dropbox.

Logged in as Administrator and found “Error Snapshot”, there are many errors but no error has dropbox / backup in title.

Note :

  • Backups are working normally, I can Download latest Backups.
  • Emails and Email digests are working normally.
  • I am NOT getting any Backup upload successful or failed emails.
  • I’ve 32 errors in Error Snapshot that I can make sense of, It has no error related to Backup or Dropbox

@revant_one @Francois_Ifitwala I am sure it will be fixed soon. Maybe we should open a ticket on github ?

In my case dropbox backups stopped working around 1st Jan. No error snapshots. I wonder if the dropbox api has changed. Haven’t gotten around to checking the dropbox backup code yet.

I was able to get the backup working using the following command. Just not sure why the command isn’t being run by the scheduler.

bench execute frappe.integrations.doctype.dropbox_backup.dropbox_backup.take_backups_daily

@kar_m I will try the command when I get work :). Thank you very much by the way.

Thanks for that @Kar_M. I just tried it. We will see tomorrow if Backup have started again.
I am still very curious as to why all a sudden (or after a bench update probably) backup to Dropbox have stopped.

No luck on my end. No scheduled backups to dropbox. To clarify the above command only manually executes a backup. I know the scheduler controls the dropbox backup and that supervisord is taking care of the scheduler. Scheduler is enabled for the site, bench doctor shows no errors and supervisorctl status shows everything working.

Hi @Kar_M, all,

I got this issue when trying your command. Any idea?

@Francois_Ifitwala @Kar_M @revant_one

The command works! However, cannot figure out what was wrong. The 2 article given below scare me alot :smile:

@Francois_Ifitwala, I can’t say for sure what the problem is. Are you running the command from the frappe-bench folder? Don’t know if that has any effect.

@ferohers, I guess the code would have to be updated eventually. I’ve been thinking of building a basic backup manager for google drive. As for figuring out why the scheduler isn’t running the dropbox backup, I looked through frappe/hooks.py to see the dropbox backup is run as either a daily_long or weekly_long event.

Running bench trigger-scheduler-event daily_long or bench trigger-scheduler-event weekly_long had no effect. Changing the "frappe.integrations.doctype.dropbox_backup.dropbox_backup.take_backups_daily" to a daily event and running bench trigger-scheduler-event daily ran the backup. I know that email alerts and email digests go out every day so I’m assuming this is a solution. I just don’t know enough about scheduler events to know why daily_long events aren’t run.

Dropbox backup started working after

bench setup supervisor
sudo service supervisor restart
