Core 156 Backup ISO creation

Hi everyone.
I’m testing with core 156 in a Vbox VM, I was testing with the backup features and looking over the new instructions.
Nice work on that !

However I have tried several times to create the ISO, it shows
0.00 MB file size.

In the /var/ipfire/backup directory there is no ISO file.

Maybe it is something specific to my VM but can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
Edit: I checked the logs, nothing no errors under ipfire or log summary, I verified drive space, 5Gb free.

The iso should be in /var/tmp/backupiso/

Also, dmesg | grep "ISO 9660"
if you have lines, it was able to create an iso.

dmesg brings up nothing, the files are where you said but are zero byte.

rw-r–r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 20 16:49 ipfire-2.25.x86_64-full-core156.iso
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 20 16:49 ipfire-2.25.x86_64-full-core156.iso.md5

I’m not affected by this at the moment since it really is just a test install on a vm, I did upgrade this from the last testing core 155 version.

I think here shortly I will build a new vm for a clean install of 156 to test again.

I created a VM and upgraded from 155 to 156 testing.

The backupiso process aborts b/c it cannot find a properly formatted md5 checksum file to verify.

Ok thanks pavlos, I’m sure they will update it soon.
I never thought to even check for a console command to run, all the info was there just waiting.

Core156 is not released yet. Backupiso needs the stable release download so you cannot use this until it exist on the server.
