Hi,

We have an server running DirectAdmin on CentOS 5.0 64-bit, and we run daily backups via the default DirectAdmin backup functionality to an external FTP server.

As you can see in the error log below the first 18 users are backuped without any problems, after that the errors start coming. Earlier, this error only occured in one account. That time i removed the public_html symbolic link (the account was an mail-only domain) and that solved is. But now very much backups are failing.

Does anyone know why this error occures and how i can solve it?

When i look in the target directory, only the first 18 backups are present.

Hello,

Do you have enough free space on HDD? /tmp and /home partitions?

Are there any broken symbolic links anywhere in the original user for which the backup fails?
