These are the error messages:

It would be great if somebody from the DA staff can take a look at this, thanks John.

I resolve this problem now
Just increase resources for directadmin and problem go away

 

[fwpeter]

How do you mean? Upgrade permissions? Could you please explain? Thanks.

 

[eSupport.org.ua]

It is very easy
I check /var/log/messages - and found inffucient nproc for running backup (I set 64)
Just increase resources by ulimit (man ulimit) and all work.

Hello,

/bin/tar: .spamassassin/user_spam/[email protected]: Cannot open: Permission denied
/bin/tar: .spamassassin/user_spam/[email protected]: Cannot open: Permission denied

Sounds like the /home/username/.spamassassin/user_spam directory doesn't have the correct permisisons. Make sure the user_spam and the .spamassassin directory are both chmod to 771. They should also be chowned to username:mail ... and the spam inboxes within them should be chowned to mail:username and chmod to 660. The spamassassin database files will be chowned to username:usernname

If in doubt, the /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/set_permissions.sh user_homes script should do the trick.
