Hello,

Is it possible to change the max size limit of backups in DirectAdmin? At restore I get a lot of this error:

ile '/home/admin/admin_backups/user.admin.user.tar.gz' was 1130094849 bytes in size, as read by root.
Unable to read the backed up user.usage file: Unable to open /home/user/backups/backup/user.usage for reading.

Is that the only error line you are getting? It's most certainly not a limit for backups.

Im getting a few more errors like databases that can't be restored. Some users are half restored (like the website data is restored but the mail accounts aren't).
 
That amount of 'bytes' is just 1GB. Why would you think a backuplimit would be set that low as a default?
I'm thinking you have some file/directory permission issues on your server.

Don't know if there is a simple command to (re)set all the permissions correctly again on a server, like the same way for instance on Mac OSX where you can Repair Permissions on a volume.
 
Might be. Hopefully others who use it will reply and clarify.

We backup multiple users, nightly, backup file size well over 32 GB, and we've never had problems restoring them. CentOS 6.

Of course you need enough space to backup the user as well; we aim to have twice the space available in /home/admin/admin_backups as the largest user. That's always worked for us.

Then I could suggest that you run a restore process in debug mode:

Code: 
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d8000

probably you'll get some more hints.
