Dear all,


I have noticed the stranged thing. I do a system backup every now and then but when I check the remote backup folder it only holds the folder structure. There are no files to be found in any of the folders.

So I checked my logs on the DA side:
Performing sanity checks: Completed
Checking load average: Completed
Checking free disk space: Completed
Performing Custom backup
Archiving /etc/exim.conf: Completed
Transfering exim.conf.tar.gz to ****: Completed

.....

Performing cleanup operations: Completed

My logs on the other side, a synology nas, shows me that there are a lot of ftp connections but they al disconnect without having copied any data.

Does anyone know what the reason for this might be? And more important, how can I solve this?


Thanks in advance!
 
Thanks, I tried using the admin level backup and this one gave an error:
User X has been backed up.
Data connection timed out.
Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out.
Passive mode refused.
ncftpput /home/tmp/admin/user.Y.X.tar.gz: not connected.

I think the problem now lies on the receiving end.. but I can't find the cause of the problem. All ports are being forwarded, when I connect myself I have no problems at all.
 
You should make sure you have passive ports working through the firewall. More than likely that is the issue.
