hi gurus
what is the reason for a red exclamation mark on a snapshot when viewed in the web UI ?
Did you tried to move mouse on a red exclamation mark (and click on it) ?
yes, its not interactive
Is there any documentation about this anywhere?
A bit of guessing, but does the same show up when you use the CLI? F.e. kopia snapshot list.
And did you check the logs in the cache directory?
I can’t see anything meaningful in the logs pertaining to the exclamation mark.
Is there any documentation about this ?
When I hoover my cursor over a red exclamation mark in a snapshot list I can see a text box popping up with the error.

Can you post those logs then?
But most importantly are your further snapshots doing fine? A workaround maybe deleting the exclamation-marked snapshot and snapshoting again.
Despite the documentation lacking a bit it’s hard to point something with so little details.
Ok it looks like it was a permission issue
Are you using one repo for two clients, per chance? Just to ask if you’re got the same use-case as mine.
I’m using the same repo but one instance of Kopia
Is that the question?
I had exactly the same issue - red exclamation mark with no rollover text or link. It turned out to be a permissions error, as @ddos observed.
What I had to do to resolve it (in KopiaUI) was to drill into the particular snapshot (click on the “Path” link) and then click on the “Name” link for each directory that showed the error exclamation. I kept drilling in until I reached a single directory. Opening that directory in Terminal and doing ls -al showed a file with either no access (all permissions blank) or owned by root.
I added each of those directories to the .kopiaignore file, and preso the errors were gone in the next snapshot.
