System backup problems

[DJohnAnderson]

System backup always fails with the log saying i don't have enough disk space -- however I do.

When I run sysbk as root I get the following errors:

I tripple checked that ftp works -- and in fact it does when i do a reseller backup of home directories.

It looks like permission denied on the destination server rather than a space issue.

You should probably try everything manually to see where you fail.

I did try the post manually -- even tripple checked it -- and it worked. I suspect it might be a passive ftp issue, or something strange. The ftp does work for saving home directories at the reseller level.

However, you still haven't explained the stage 3 MySQL failure, or why the log reports a space failure.

I suspect both are DirectAdmin bugs that could use fixing.

 

[nobaloney]

If it's a bug then it might be specific to your installation, since sysbk works properly for all the machines we back up weekly.

Jeff

 

[DJohnAnderson]

i think the permissions problem is a passive ftp problem.

I'm still not sure about the mysql error -- it was installed as part of the direct admin install.

However, there is definitely a DirectAdmin bug that reports lack of space when no space related errors occur. So you should probably fix that one.

 

[nobaloney]

So you should probably fix that one.

I'm not sure who you're referring to by "you", since I haven't seen any posts here from any of the JBMC staff.

If you want to report a suspected bug to JBMC you should probably send an email to support.

[DJohnAnderson]

sorry, I shouldn't have say "you", I should have said DirectAdmin.
