System backup 0 KB

[Fred.]

I just noticed that most of the files in the system backup are 0 KB

apache.tar.gz
named.conf.tar.gz
zone_records.tar.gz
full-mysql.tar.gz

are all 0 KB

i'm using the last version of directadmin.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I think i found the problem, i few huge backup files where included in the backup and the server was running out of disk space.

 

[Fred.]

Problem solved!

Why not use admin level backups?

 

[nobaloney]

User scsi is abolutely right.

Admin level reseller backup is a much better tool, because it has a restore tool. The System Backup has no restore tool; you'll need an experienced system administrator to do a manual restore from the System Backup.

I also use admin level backup, but not everything is included in this backup.

Is it possible to make a full backup of the server with the admin level or reseller backup?

My admin backup is only 360 MB and my system backup 4,1 GB.

The admin level reseller backup stores everything you need to restore your resellers and users to a working DirectAdmin server, and nothing else. The System Backup stores a lot more than that. To see what it stores, check it's configuration files.
