xcloner log tmp files not being removed

    I have literally THOUSANDS (57,839 actually) of folders called “.xcloner-xxxxx” in my tmp directory. Each one of those folders contains an equivalent “xcloner-xxxxx.log” file.

    Most of those log files contain the following line :
    [2018-01-23 01:03:36] php_system.INFO: E_NOTICE: array ( ‘type’ => 8, ‘message’ => ‘Undefined index: HTTPS’, ‘file’ => ‘/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxx/public/wp-config.php’, ‘line’ => 21, ) [] []

    Some contain an entire log of an xcloner run.

    Running xcloner 4.0.6
    Any idea as to why I’d have literally so many, and why xcloner is not cleaning these up?

  • The XCloner tmp log directories are usually deleted at the end of a backup process, but if that fails for whatever reason, there is also a procedure to delete all the leftovers at the end of a scheduled backup process or when xcloner is deactivated from backend. Do you have a scheduled backup that completes successfully?

    The XCloner main log files are however left on the system for debugging purposes, with a retention time of 7 days, if you want that disabled, you would have to disable the full XCloner logging, the “Enable XCloner Backup Log” option

    If you still have issues, please feel free to contact me here https://www.thinkovi.com/contact/ , would be happy to debug this further.

    I tried contacting with you the way you told me, but it gives me an error.
    You’ve asked me if I had successfully made backups, and I have two each week. In the directory I have the files you were referring to, the seven day old maximum (names like xcloner_main_84aac-2018-06-21.log), but I also have lots of hidden directories called .xcloner-5267e or similar. Those are the ones that I have to erase manually, because they could reach thousands. I would like to know if there’s something in the configuration that I could change to avoid those hidden directories, or something that you need about my configuration to fix this in another version.
    Regards.

    Sorry for that, https://www.thinkovi.com/contact/ is fixed now, would be happy to debug this for free if you can share you site access details. Thanks
