Hi, This is the first time i am trying webmin to backup file. I encountered this problem while performing backup of system file to my secondary disk. Directories to backup: /etc/httpd/ /usr/local/ Backup to --> file or tape --> /backup/linux/ (I tried with /backup/linux too) Performing backup of /etc/httpd/ /usr/local/ to /backup/linux .. tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /backup/linux: Cannot open: Is a directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now .. backup failed! Anyone can give me some ideas what i did wrong... -Hazmy- |

Hello I am trying to backup my webroot through ftp to a different server. When I run the backup it says that it has run succesfully. But if I look at the place of the backup there's no backup created. Does anyone have an Idea? |

(Try the lates preview 1.429). b) Give me some logon data and I will try to backup some files to you and I will see if I run into the same error. Right now I am backing up my files to an attached data storage which is being backed up by my provider. So there is no need to use FTP-backup for me. cheers -f Martin |

Well, I am doing it from a local system so I can't give credentials. I downloaded 1.420.

What I ment is, to give credentials to that FTP-Server so I can ftp put some files to the destination you are configuring. I do not need to work on your local workstation ;-) hth Martin |

Also, which module or page in Webmin are you using to do the backup? There are a couple which work differently - the Filesytem Backup module, and Virtualmin's per-domain backup page. - Jamie |

Perhaps you need to specify a file rather than a directory, e.g., /backup/linux/today.tar.gz (assuming the backup feature creates a gzipped tar archive -- *.tar.gz). Doug |
