Here is another weird one. We have been using a NFS share on the servers to create a backup folder on our servers for local backups. We are using the scheduled backups under VIRTUALMIN - BACKUP AND RESTORE - SCHEDULED BACKUPS to execute a daily backup.
We have decided to change our method to FTP backups. On this server we have an issue with mariadb mysql dump and this is causing the backups to fail for some sites. (This is not the issue, we are aware of this).
When using “local file or directory” the sites with a partial backup still generate and copy a tar.gz file to the backup location with the site files (just without database). BUT when using “ftp” as the destination - no partial backup file is pushed to the ftp destination! No other parameters or options have been changed.
I have logs for both types of backup and the log files are almost identical - we are just missing partial backup .tar.gz in the destination.
Thanks. Good question. Yes. We setup the FTP user and sites that don’t have MySQL issue backup to the folder fine. The issue is just that the partial sites don’t copy to FTP but do with NFS (all other settings being equal). Cheers
As often with this kind of problem it’s hard to say when we don’t have directly access to it …
So the mysql error literally prevent the backup to continue despite “continue with other features”. I would be happy to help. But I think I can’t on this one. Is there an errors logs somewhere ?
Still thinking about it. When using FTP, doesn’t the connection open when the backup is ready ? (And not before. Contrary to “Local file or directory” which save step by step everything) If it’s the case it will be impossible to get it as long as you didn’t fix the MySQL threat (Maybe open a topic to fix it first).
