Where are you doing the backup , in Virtuamin Backup and Restore?
Whats name are you giving the backup?
The name is system default names. I only provide the backup location.
so are you using the virtualmin backup & restore function or the webmin backup function ?
I am using Virtualmin backup & restore. I have created a schedule here
What are you naming the backup?
I did a tar backup with no issues.
is the location another drive? Everything looks ok except its a location I would not backup to.
location is a cloud drive
ok, that maybe the issue.
… so I moved my backup location to my VPS Server where virtual min is installed It still failed. Exactly same error
Do you have plenty of storage, I’ve tested and no issue and do daily backups to AWS. Something on your system is causing a issue and not sure what.
Are you running as root?
yes am running as root
in your screenshot you do not have create destination directory checked, try checking that and running again
