[Aashiqps]

i am trying to schedule backup an ubuntu server to minio bucket, it is getting failed due to repo is lock. when i try with unlock repo and then use backup now option it is getting backup done. can you help me with the right settings so that repo is not locked when schedule backup running. i tried the flag --no-lock while setting repo and also autolock option enabled but still not working.

--no-lock is not supported as a repo flag, you should rely on the auto unlock feature here.
