is there a way to force harvester to re-scan an NFS backup target? i have two clusters, and if i backup in one cluster, and want to restore into the second cluster, i have to wait a file for the backup to show up once it's done.

Hi @quaint-alarm-7893, Did you mean you could not see the NFS backup target on the restore side? If yes, you could simply remove/add backup target again to trigger re-scan.

@salmon-city-57654 yes, kinda. in v1.0.3 it wont let me delete / re-add. but it's okay, i just had to wait for it to show up. i was more wondering if there's a pod i could kill that makes it re-scan when it re-launches or something. #impatient 🙂

Hi @quaint-alarm-7893, Could you try to

edit-config

Use the default value

to reset the backup target?

@quaint-alarm-7893, could I clarify this question again? Do you mean that the backup sync is slow as this issue (https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/3253)? Or do you mean that you can not see the backup target on the restore side?

@salmon-city-57654 my specific case is with two clusters, backup on cluster a, then restore on cluster b. if both clusters have the same NFS target already established, it takes a good while for cluster b to see a newly created backup that was made on cluster a.

that's what i think they mean by backup sync. how long it takes for one cluster to see backups made by another cluster.

Ah, how do we know the backup is completed? That’s what you need to know, right?
