Backup Virtual Servers Partial Fail

Hello:

Setting up virtual server backups on a new server. Copied all settings I can think of from the old server. When backing up a virtual server, it fto’s all virtualmin settings to the remote server as virtualmin.tar.gz, However, it does not ftp over the domain.com.tar.gz file. I see the file being created as the backup is being done in the tmp directory. But when the time comes to ftp it, it just disappears. Here is the backup progress report:

Anyone have an idea of why the settings are ftp’d but the home files are not? This is driving me crazy.

Thanks,

Found the problem.

The message “Copying Logrotate configuration … … no log rotation configuration found!” was the clue.

Somehow the log rotation file was missing. I recreated it, and backup works.

Also found that mysql tables were corrupted, so I ran mysql_upgrade and that fixed it.
