Getting error "'Clickhouse' medatata.json already exists" while trying to create backup

[gavishdewangan]

I am trying to create remote backup via backup actions, I am getting this error 'Clickhouse' medatata.json already exists. Just want to know when do we encounter this error and what is the fix for it?

Actually, it means you already created backup with the same name ClickHouse

better use POST /backup/actions with request body

{"command":"create_remote <uniq_backup_name>"}

and poll GET /backup/status to watch progress

add

general:
  keep_backup_local: -1  

to automatically remove local backup after successful upload
