Hello guys, after trying for more than 3 days, with the help of ChatGPT I guess I need help from the real experts.
Things i've tried:
This is driving me crazy for weeks now and today I tried again with new energy but still failing to get back-ups working.
I tried reading some threads here but they are very old or using FTPS instead of SFTP.
- I have two versions of DirectAdmin (one will be migrated to the other one soon).
- I use back-up via SFTP on the DirectAdmin setup version 1.668, this works fine
- I try to setup back-up via exact same information for DirectAdmin setup 1.680
- This gives me the error: Error during Backup Creation, FTP information invalid
Things i've tried:
- I'm using HiDrive
- Tried command line: sftp sftp.hidrive.strato.com
- Tried to create OpenSSH key and connect without password via command line
- Disabled CSF (csf -x) and tried again to connect via DirectAdmin admin backup
Code:
[root@transip admin]# echo "action=backup&local_path=admin" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d2000
2025/07/29 15:40:27 info executing task task=action=backup&local_path=admin
2025/07/29 15:40:27 info finished task duration=735.345µs task=action=backup&local_path=admin
2025/07/29 15:40:27 error task failed error=unknown backup type "" task=action=backup&local_path=admin
