Hi,

I recentley transferd my directadmin from my old server to a new VPS. I used the "admin backup and transfer" function and it worked perfectley.

However for some strange reason i can not use the backup function anymore!

The disk is not full. At the moment i'm using about 12GB and the total HDD size of my vps is 50GB.

DA info:
Compiled on Debian 6.0
Compile Date Nov 28 2012, 02:24:30
Server Version 1.42.1

Any idea what could be the problem?

Apparently is a problem with user quota, not disk space.

I dont think is admin user quota, i more thinki about single user are backedup quota... the backup keep the owner for a better restore so probably those file increase the usage of those users and the system quota block it.

You should think to set admin_backups path in a separated partition without quota enabled.

Well it would be strange if it was a quote issue:

Code:

The backup is started from the build-in "admin" account. That account should have unlimited disk space! As far as i can remember i never had any problems with backups untill i moved now to a VPS.

Is it possible to disable the quota check?
 
Check with quota -v admin if the user quota of admin is the problem.
 
Well i found it.

I was looking into things and it seems my VPS host has set my disk space to 50 gb (according to the admin panel) however DA only reported it as 20GB. Now i really have 50GB and the issue is resolved, thanks for your help all!
 
@SeLLeRoNe,

Just a remark.

Directadmin disables temporary user quotas for making backups. So in most cases that should not be an issue.
