Stash backup client failed with Java exception.

Ernest Gulik

Hello,

We're using Stash v3.0.1 on Amazon m3.medium instance type and I've setup simple backup cronjob using stash backup client but it failed and now when issue that manually it fails too.
Cronjob is simple:

30 00 * * * cd /path/to/backup && ./stash-backup

stash-backup script:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Daily backup of Stash Server.
#



DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M)
STASH_PASS="<password>"
STASH_USER="<stash-user>"
URL="http://<stash-link>"
STASH_ROOT="<stash/path>"
STASH_HOME="${STASH_ROOT}/data"
BACKUP_DIR="${STASH_ROOT}/backup/backups"
LOG_DIR="${STASH_ROOT}/backup/log"
#BACKUP_LOG="${LOG_DIR}/atlassian-sbc-" # to do
RECIPIENT="<user1>"
RETVAL=$?

MESSAGE() {
    echo "Check log file under  ${LOG_DIR}" |  /bin/mail -s "AHA Stash Backup FAILED with return code $RETVAL" ${RECIPIENT}
}

PROCESS() {
/usr/bin/java -Dstash.password="${PASS}" -Dstash.user="${STASH_USER}" -Dstash.baseUrl="${URL}" -Dstash.home="${STASH_HOME}" -jar <path/to>/stash-backup-client-1.2.1/stash-backup-client.jar stash-${DATE}.tar
}

PROCESS
#${RETVAL}
if [ ${RETVAL} -ne "0" ]; then
    MESSAGE
fi

When i execute it from command line here's what I get:

Any help appreciated,

Thank you

The reason why i was having that issue was because I extracted the package and copied over only 2 files stash backup restore and backup jar files and I learned later that these files are using libraries that are included in tar file.

Thanks
