remote backup fails with /usr/lib/tar/rmt: No such file or directory

ubuntu 14; webmin 1.74 - same setup on 6 cloud servers (elastichsosts.com). Exact same scripts work fine from old Debian 6 servers. Cannot find any way to set the path to rmt

have tried symlink from /usr/lib/tar/rmt to /usr/sbin/rmt-tar but no change.

All suggestions gratefully received!

Howdy,

What process are you using for your backup – is that being done from within Webmin using System -> Filesystem backup?

Anyone got any ideas please?
