Reload Backing Up To External Drive, Disk Space Used Always Reports 0%

Environment

Reload (all versions)

Situation

I have configured Reload to save the backups to an external device. Reload always reports that there isn't any disk space used by the backups. I have multiple backups saved on the drive but Reload still returns 0% used.

Resolution

This has been corrected, please update to the latest shipping build of Reload.

After updating Reload then add the following entry to the bottom of the profile conf file.

MONITOR_CHECK_NON_LOCAL_DISK_SPACE="1"

The profile is located in the /opt/beginfinite/reload/conf/ directory.

The name of the conf file is <profile name>.conf

This will only effect jobs submitted after the entry is added and the conf file has been saved.
