Hi Folks,
Having a server for a friend who has the DA panel on it.
During Admin Backups we are experiencing problems. (also during user backups, so it seems to depend on the backup job)
When the target of the backup is a directory within a symbolic link destination creating the backup fails.
When we mount the desired end destination to the /home/admin/admin_backups mountpoint with a bind option it seems to work quite well.
My question:
How can we make this work with symbolic links?
The reason why, each user gets his user_backups folder symlinked to a other harddisk to spread the risk of losing data with a hardware failure. (Yes i know this is not a real backup scenario, but it is what is asked for at this moment).
Logs from the backup job when failing:
