You can monitor its progress in the Running Backup Jobs section on the module's main page, and will be notified of its final status via email. > > Here is the log agian > > 1142003327.25225.0 [10/Mar/2006 08:08:47] rmvg 1ad2fa85a13bd9f92653b93db68eb7f0 68.146.204.152 fsdump backup.cgi "bgbackup" "-" "-" after='' before='' comp='2' days='*' dir='/home' email='lu...@co...' enabled='0' extra='' follow='' fs='ext3' hfile='/home/rmvg/testbak.min' honour='0' host='computerking.ca' hours='0' huser='rmvg' id='17781141953210' label='' level='0' mins='0' months='*' multi='0' pass='japangirl' remount='0' reverify='0' rsh='/usr/bin/ssh' subject='webmin backup' update='0' weekdays='*' Running the backup in the background isn't as useful for debugging, as you don't get to see the output from the dump or tar command.
