HPE OneView Remote backup creates a 0 byte additional file

Hi, 

I enabled HPE Oneview remote backups. So basically it scp backup file to a remote server locations. 

However i can see there is a additional 0 byte file is created at the backup location in addition to the backup file. 

-rw-r--r-- 1 backup other 0 Jul 6 12:03 BACKUP_TEST_FILE.bkp
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup other 22M Jul 6 12:03 SERVER_Name_backup_2023-07-06_110235.bkp

This is a daily backup. I have tried a applicance restart but no luck. 

My OneView version is  8.10.00-0472141

Many Thanks 

Mili

Re: HPE OneView Remote backup creates a 0 byte additional file

If you are asking about the BACKUP_TEST_FILE.bkp, you can safely delete it.  It should have been deleted upon first configuring the remote backup location.  Removing the 0-byte file will not break the remote backup feature.

@ChrisLynch 

Thanks yes i know. I think the issue was when I saw the test file I edited the backup schedule & it creates another test file on the next run as its thinks its the first run! I cannot have 0 byte files in the directory (a script is picking those up & alert).

I just need to make sure I dont edit again then should be ok   

 

Thanks
