Hello,
i’ve 2 VPS with Webmin/Virtualmin trying to backup one webmin on the other and viceversa just to see if it works before going on production. Honestly i’ve more than 2 VPS but i’d like to understand the routine to expand backups.

Local backups work fine since the start but backups thru VPS are not. this is the message i receive

Login to RPC server as USERNAME_REPLACED rejected web-lib-funcs.pl (line 8523)

Root is disabled as i use double admin profiles, and i know it’s just a newbie question but i’m looking for big hints to fix this. Reading ~10 related topics on this forum didn’t help.

Thanks, have a nice day

How are you trying to backup? The RPC server kinda confuses me. If you are doing this through the interface can you screenshot the page?

Sounds like it might be an authentication issue between the two VPS instances. Since root is disabled, you’ll probably need to make sure the user you’re using has RPC/API access enabled in Webmin. Double-check the credentials and permissions it usually comes down to that when cross-backups fail.

I don’t see a user and password here. You need some kind of credential to transfer a file.
