Failing to Open Kopia Repository

Support
1

For context, I had to reinstall my OpenSUSE installation I had on my computer. This repository, a backup of my Linux home folder, previously had no issues when trying to access it from a fresh reinstall. However, in this recent reinstall, I got the following error in KopiaUI.

Connect Error: INTERNAL: internal server error: connect error: error connecting to repository: unable to list sources: unable to find manifest entries: unable to load manifest contents: error loading manifest content: error getting cached content from blob "qe4bfe443a029d66dacf107eb25f82604-sdf4b81a939f05108142": failed to get blob with ID qe4bfe443a029d66dacf107eb25f82604-sdf4b81a939f05108142: BLOB not found

This does not seem to be an issue with the drive I am using, as it has another, separate repository, that I can connect to just fine. I have tried downgrading all the way down to 22.3, but no luck. Can someone help me with this?

Make sure, that you remove all caches from your account. Usually Kopia does that when it quits, but there seem to be some left-overs from your old install.

So i am following the documentation regarding clearing cache ( Caching | Kopia ), and found the cache folder for my system:

What exactly do I delete/clear here? The documentation says

Default Cache Directory Location varies by operating system:

  • On Linux - ~/.cache/kopia/{unique-id}
  • On macOS - ~/Library/Caches/kopia/{unique-id}
  • On Windows - %LocalAppData%\kopia\{unique-id}

Where {unique-id} is a hash of configuration file used and unique identifier that’s specific to a connected repository.

But how exactly do I match the {unique-id} to my repository to know which folder to clear?

The question would be rather, how come that you are having so many of those? If you are sure to have shutdown KopiaUI on your host, you can simply delete all of them - Kopia will create new ones, if needed…

Deleted it all and reinstalled, I still get the error, though I did get rid of all the empty repositories. Did not know why Kopia kept creating so many.

If any more info helps, my storage type is a local directory.

Interesting thing (at least to me). My file manager is saying that my backup folder is 1.8+ Tb, even though last time the repository opened, KopiaUI said that my backup was around 428Gb. Is this normal Kopia Behavior?
