Remote Full System Backup Not Working!

[daniele]

I'm trying to do a full system backup with the remote transfer feature.

I've tried with both FTP and SCP. Both gives success in the log but no files
are transfered to the external server.

I have tried login in manually using FTP and SSH, works.
Also checked all the permissions, all is ok.

Why does the log say its Completed when it in fact isn't?

Seems like a bug? The backup is created fine. It's just the remote file
transfer that doesn't work.

Here is the complete log-file. I hope someone in the development team of DirectAdmin can solve this.

No where in the log does it say anything about the transfer being complete. Are you sure you have it set up to transfer?

I've noticed in the past that the log doesn't monitor transfer.

Note that in the second line from the bottom it DOES say it's completed. But it returns that as long as the process gets there; it doesn't depend on whether or not there are any errors.

What we do is every night we check our backup directories. If the current backup is NOT larger or equal to the siae of the previous backup, we investigate manually.
