Is there a way for me to download an older version of directadmin? I just need to make backup, system auto updated and now I can't do nothing, any way we can downgrade a little bit the binaries just for me to make backups?

[root@directadmin]# /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin admin-backup --destination=/home/admin/admin_backups
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin)
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin)
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin)
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin)
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin)

Thanks

What exactly is the OS on that server with DA ?
Code: 
cat /etc/os-release
I suppose it is CentOS 7.9 or Debian 10 ?
 
If it's Centos you could do cat /etc/redhat-release for the specific version but wow that is indeed very old as you said.

You can try to download this version of DA:

Code: 
- mkdir /root/old_da/
- cd /root/old_da/
- wget https://download.directadmin.com/directadmin_78685523eaa4f1eb0a53e1f932234d20cd045bf8_linux_amd64.tar.gz
- tar -xzf directadmin_78685523eaa4f1eb0a53e1f932234d20cd045bf8_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Replace "directadmin" file with old one:
- rsync -avz directadmin /usr/local/directadmin/
Try to start DA back:
- service directadmin restart
Check if you can create backups once again.

That seems to be working :)

Many many thanks!, The executable is running, fingers crossed :)

Many thanks
