Backups are not preserved

[youds]

Hi

When backing up using DirectAdmin I am shown success messages upon completing the backup, but no files are in the `/home/admin/admin_backups/2022-08-06` folder. Following is an exert from DirectAdmin logs..

2022:08:06-08:19:27: Socket write error: fd is connected to a pipe or socket whose reading end is closed.  When this  happens the writing process will also receive a SIG_PIPE signal.  (Thus, the write return value is seen only if  the program catches, blocks or ignores this signal.)

I searched around but DA support seems to think its related to user input which I can confirm is not the case as I ran the script in full in order to receive the screenshot attached.

Any ideas?

This may just be permissions on your backup folder

[root@server1 custombuild]# ls -al /home/admin/admin_backups


total 0


drwx--x--x  3 admin admin  24 Aug  6 14:09 .


drwx--x--x 11 admin admin 233 Sep 26  2021 ..


drwx--x--x  2 admin admin   6 Aug  6 14:14 2022-08-06

The files are created during backup, if I do

ls /home/admin/admin_backups

then I can see .tar.gz files and so on however upon completion no files remains.

That is a strange one, have ytou got any AV (anti-virus) installed on the server that might be removing the tar files ? if not might just be a case of reading through logs to find the issue, or switch to stable version if you are using beta ?

So I ran cp -r when files were present and ditched the last user. Heh ?
