Operating system: Debian
OS version: 10 Buster
Virtualmin: 1.971
Issue can be found in older threads, but has never been answered, e.g. here…
In brief: Backups triggered via GUI work fine, cron’d backups stop [somewhere], giving the following error-email:
Subject: Failed backup of Virtualmin on ####.net to local file /dumps
Backup failed! See the progress output above for the reason why. Total backup time was 00 minutes, >23 seconds.Virtual servers that failed :

I deleted the CRON and set up a new one: exactly the same error/behaviour.
What could be the cause?
How to I get cron’d backups to work?
Unfortunately there seems to be no “progress output above for the reason why”
