Although I have had success with the admin backup its still in beta and should not be expected to work fully with production servers.

If it doesn't work for you then you need to use another method.
 
I also still have this error (randomly) in version 1.31.1
I know it's still in RC status, but I would like to see that it's flawless when it hits production ;)

If someone of the DA staff wants to work with me or my server to look at what is going wrong so you can make the solution even better than feel free to contact me.
 
Randomly? The local path it's referrig to is the value entered at the top of the backup section (step 3, where), and in the "step 1, where" section of the restore part.
Make sure the path is always filled with a value that exists, and that is writeable by the admin user (or the Admin account that is creating the backup).

This time I realy looked carefully to the paths and also made screenshots, but the paths are the same. I do the backup on server1 and want to restore on server2.

And by randomly I mean that I allready have transfered an other account in this way.
 
after looking at those screenshots, it shows me that the "local_path" variable is blank, as the "local_path" is supposed to be shown right after that, but since there is nothing there, that's why the path isn't valid.

That local_path value is part of the form in:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/admin/admin_backup.html
With this bit
Code: 
<td class=listtitle> - |LANG_LOCAL|: <input type=text size=28 name="local_path" value="|local_path|"></td>
And the only real way to debug if that value is actually getting passed to DA or not, is to run:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin
killall -9 directadmin
./directadmin b800
then bascially submit the form and see if the local_path option is being passed when you get the error.

If you can duplicate the error with the debug mode output present, let me know what the values are... (take out the headers and any encrypted data for security) ... or just email them to us support at directadmin.com.

It looks like this bug is in the Marina Skin, if I change the skin to enhanced it is working.

Thanks for you answer, this pointed me in the right direction.
