RE: [webmin-l] Backup Problems

If no one replies to you in here then possibilities are that you are
misunderstanding the workability of things or just being impatient for
someone to answer. Sometimes, if this is indeed a bug, they might be already
aware of it. Another thing, if you didn't pay for virtualmin's support
anyone has any obligation in helping you out. Just a though.

Subject: RE: [webmin-l] Backup Problems

 

Here's an overview of what was discussed:

I'm having all my files backed up to a folder on my server and I keep
getting 
duplicate backups with what I assume are temp directories that are not
getting 
deleted, as such: 01245748_backup.pl or some such strange thing. This could
be a serious 
hazard as it keeps doing this over and over eating drive space.

I'm using the VirtualMin backup and am using the SSH option to transfer to
another 
server. 

The folder that was created is called "997319_2_backup.pl". This folder
changes from 
day to day. 

I've also noticed that this folder is inside the folder that the files are
supposed to 
be SSHed to. Some of the files that are being backed up are in both folder
with the 
same dates, but different times. The ones in the "997319_2_backup.pl" are
actually 
older (by 20 minutes) than the ones in the root folder. 

Version 1.250 and the backup is set as "Directory of archive files, one per
server"
