Since abandoning sysbk problems with System Backup from DA 1.709 and upwards. See my earlier post about it.

Fixed it with:

cp -a /usr/local/directadmin/shared/sysbk.sh \
      /usr/local/directadmin/shared/sysbk.sh.bak
      
sed -i 's/ --ssl-reqd//g' /usr/local/directadmin/shared/sysbk.sh

Sysem Backup stopped working, System Backup script update.

An error occurred during the backup 9/27/2026, 10:57 AM
Starting System backup...

Prechecks:
  Sanity checks: ....curl: (64) Requested SSL level failed
<br>

Why? FTP does not need SSL.

Edit: I changed the FTP server to accept ssl (Enable TLS support), now this message appears:
Starting System backup...

Prechecks:
Sanity checks: ....curl: (21) QUOT string not accepted: DELE /Redacted/upload_test.txt
<br>

The file was uploaded to my ftp server, but as a security I don't allow deletion or read actions by FTP, only for myself as a local user.
Please skip the delete test and I'm happy with ssl ftp.

Edit 2: For testing purposes I gave R/W access to my ftp server. Now again another error appears.
Starting System backup...

Prechecks:
Sanity checks: .... Done
Free disk space: .... Done

Archiving:
/var/named
/etc/named.conf
/etc/openlitespeed
-> /backup/09-27-26/sysbk-09-27-26.tar.zst .... Done

Transfer:
/backup/09-27-26 -> redacted.net ....curl: (18) server did not report OK, got 426
<br>

Edit 3: Other observation. the backup file on my DA server in/backup/09-27-26/sysbk-09-27-26.tar.zst seems to be valid, the file uploaded to my ftp-server seems to be corrupt/incomplete.

Edit 4: After every failure the /backup directory is not cleaned up. When starting a new backup I get the message:
Starting System backup...

Prechecks:
Sanity checks: ....backup already performed for 09-27-26 (/backup/09-27-26), aborting...
<br>

Then I have to SSH to my server to delete the leftovers from the backup.

Edit 5: Backup and Restore still works fine.
