I have a problem with my scheduled backup to my home pc with filezilla server.
First, the ftp from ssh work, i am able to connect to create directory, put and get files.
Wher I try to make the automatic backup from Virtualmin i see the open connection on filezilla (the icon on tha tray is green) but the file is not transfered and i see this message in the virtualmin :
Uploading archive to FTP server ip-address …
… upload failed! Failed to connect to ip-addrees : Connection timed out
Backup failed! See the progress output above for the reason why.
How i can solve the problem ?
Best Regards
Ernesto
I don’t have an answer for you, but a similar problem:
virtualmin is scheduled to make a backup via ssh every night.
The initial backup apparently did “something” (we see the files, however most have only some k of size which is far too small and vm didnt send a positive confirmation).
24 hrs, later, w. the 1st and all following backups, wm sends an email:
Subject: Failed backup of Virtualmin on xxx.xxx
There are currently 0 backups running, and the system-wide limit is
Backup gescheitert! Im folgenden nun die Angabe des Grundes/von Gründen.
Total backup time was 00 minutes, 00 seconds.
Virtual servers that failed :
{list of domains}
Sent by Virtualmin at: https://xxx.xxx:10000
We chose incremental backup, but the files do not grow and neither their timestamp increases.
here the settings we use:
Virtual servers
Servers to save
All virtual servers
Include sub-servers of those selected?
yes
Limit to servers on plan
Features and settings
everything
Destination and format
Backup destination
SSH server
Do strftime-style time substitutions on file or directory name
no
Transfer each virtual server after it is backed up
yes
Backup format
One file per server
Create destination directory?
no
Action on error
Continue with other features and servers
Backup level
Incremental (only files changed since last full backup)
Schedule and reporting
Scheduled backup time
Simple schedule
Delete old backups Never
Command to run before backup None set
Command to run after backup None set
Why are the backups failing?
What do you recommend?
we additionally scheduled a backup via FTP and get exactly the same error.
I guess it is safe to presume the problem is on the source vm-server from where the backup is made, not on the target ftp/ssh server.
We found ‘System Settings’, but there is no ‘Virtualmin Config’ there sorry.
We have the follwing options:
Features and Plugins
Server Templates
Account Plans
Bandwidth Monitoring
Upgrade to Virtualmin Pro
Module Config
No Virtualmin Config, no Backup and Restore.
Forgot to mention: we are on ol’ 3.77GPL - maybe this has something to do w. it?
Cheers,
