Foreman Maintain

Hello,

Problem:

Our new Katello 4.2.1 server is not able to take valid backups with foreman-maintain.

The offline backups don’t contain the mongo_data.tar.gz or the pulp tar ball.

When I go to restore I get the following error:

root@katello04-> foreman-maintain restore /var/katello_backups/katello04/katello-backup-2022-01-07-12-59-18/
Running Restore backup
Check if command is run as root user: [OK]
Validate backup has appropriate files: [FAIL]

The given directory does not contain the required files or has too many files

All backup directories contain: config_files.tar.gz
An online or remote database backup directory contains: mongo_dump, candlepin.dump, foreman.dump, pulpcore.dump
An offline backup directory contains: mongo_data.tar.gz, pgsql_data.tar.gz
A logical backup directory contains: mongo_dump, candlepin.dump, foreman.dump, pulpcore.dump, mongo_data.tar.gz, pgsql_data.tar.gz
Including pulp_data.tar is optional and will restore pulp data to the filesystem if included.

Only the following files were found: pgsql_data.tar.gz, config_files.tar.gz, metadata.yml

Expected outcome:

The foremain-maintain offline backups should produce valid backups with all the requisite files needed to do a restore

Our directory just has the following files in there:

root@katello03-> ll /var/katello_backups/katello04/katello-backup-2022-01-07-12-59-18/
total 445988
rw-r–r–. 1 root root 2371127 Jan 7 13:00 config_files.tar.gz
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 39136 Jan 7 12:59 metadata.yml
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 454275885 Jan 7 13:00 pgsql_data.tar.gz
[/var/katello_backups/katello04/katello-backup-2022-01-07-12-59-18]
root@katello03>

An older version of Katello (3.18) has all the files needed and we can restore fine:

root@katello01-> ll
