backup not work?

[neorder]

my 2nd harddisk was formatted as /backup

after i run system backup as an admin, i found a new folder was created but there is not file inside.

the folder name is 10-17-04
supposingly i should have some .tar.gz backup, am i correct?

By default system backup will go to /home/backup.

Did you change it to go to /backup?

What does your backup log say?

thanks jeff, you are always here answering ppl.

when i login as admin, and clicked system backup, i found my backup path is

/backup

i don't think i will need to change it, probably i shall change it from

Minimum disk space required for backup (MB) on partition

btw, i din't know where can i check backup logs, any suggestion

 

[neorder]

ok, i found the logs it says

Performing sanity checks: backup already performed for 10-17-04 (/backup/10-17-04), aborting...
Performing cleanup operations: Completed

so i will try again tomolo.

anyway, i still found nothing at /backup/10-17-04

If you don't want to wait, simplly delete that backup directory (and any contents) at /backup/10-17-04, and just leave the empty /backup partition.

Then try it again and check the log after an hour or two.
