There are currently 5 backups running, and the system-wide limit is 5
Yet when I view the backups in
Running Backups
No Virtualmin backups are currently running.
I also used to close any additional miniserv.pl scripts running, however I only have two of the running as well. Restarting webmin and usermin services doesnt help either.
What if you manually run that particular backup – does it work in that case?
You can manually run it by going into the Scheduled Backups screen, and clicking the “Backup” button. You’ll then back a choice to either “Backup now” or “Backup in background”.
Either of those is fine, I’m just curious if either of them work for you.
Could you post the output of the command “ps auxwf”?
That will show all the running processes on your server – I’m wondering if maybe there are some “stuck” backup processes listed in there for some reason.
Upon running the above I saw several backup.pl processes. I have killed these and will let you know how I get on tomorrow, as scheduled backups run at midnight tonight.
Hey that’s great, I’m glad that you were able to resolve that!
I’m not sure how those backup processes got stuck there, that certainly shouldn’t happen. If you find that keeps occurring, let us know so we can look deeper into that.
But in the meantime,I’m glad it’s working, and hopefully you won’t see any further problems!
