System backup stuck - log?

[warg]

Hello,

I did execute the system backup for first time and checked all checkboxes for directories/files to have a local full system backup. I checked the link "View Last Backup Log" and it seems to be stuck at the last point:

Performing sanity checks: Completed

Archiving /home/admin: Completed

Archiving /usr/local:

Is there a way to see a detailled log or any way to see the progress? The server is relativly powerful and no customer data on it thus I suspect it should finish soon. I'm waiting since 20 minutes.

Best Regards,

I just saw that there is a message from 15:05 saying this:

So it seems the last backup log viewer is not showing the current status and the backup broke at mysql backup due to some invalid path.

Solution for fixing the mysql backup is as provided here (working for Debian 11): https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/system-backup-mysql-problem.57146/

Why the last backup log is outdated (showing the first backup backup's log and that incomplete) is unclear to me. I think these two issues is something that @smtalk should take a look at. And maybe the complete/success message shouldn't be thrown if there were errors during backup because it could be misleading for the admin so he/she assumes that the backup was complete and nothing to check/verify.
