Hello fellow users..

I need some help as I'm getting used to using webmin/virtualmin's added functionality, but I'm running into issues while trying to backup my web directories and config file and getting some errors. I tried CHMOD the folder where trying to backing up to and no luck. plz help as I'm trying to setup a successful backup.

In virtualmin trying to backup in backup virtual server (full)

to /mnt/backup/sitebackup failed :

TAR failed : sh: /mnt/backup/sitebackup: Is a directory tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

In Webmin file system backup :

Performing backup of /var/www to /mnt/backup/sitebackup ..

tar: /mnt/backup/sitebackup: Cannot read: Bad file descriptor tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Thanks, Ben

Howdy,

What output do you receive if you run these commands:

ls -l /mnt/backup/sitebackup
touch /mnt/backup/sitebackup/test.txt
echo foo > /mnt/backup/sitebackup/test.txt
