Hi Aldo,

Sometime in December in 2016 we ran out of space for our backup

backrest stopped taking backups since the incident.

Versions of things:

pg_backrest 0.75

This is an incredibly old, pre-1.0 version of pgBackRest. I suggest you upgrade to a current version. 1.X will not be compatible with your current repo so it will need to be a fresh install.

*postgres@pgdedicated:/backup/backrest/log$ cat

This could be any number of things and there's not enough information given here to even begin to guess.

Question: Not sure when the backrest cron was commented out, but how is
it still attempting to do backups without this setup? I'm assuming it's
being invoked some other way?

I'm guessing it's being invoked in some other way, perhaps the postgres user's crontab?

Also, any idea what the issue is with the error?

Again, there's not enough information given for me to form an opinion.
