backup error msg

[oh thats comforting]

Just finished virtualizing my Plesk server, and now I get this error:


Following error is occured during scheduled backup process:

Runtime error in pmmcli:

Some of the posts I've read say something about changing the backup directory (in this case to a different- and virtual machine)
But the again we have been running errored backups for weeks before we even migrated the server... no error code with these, it simply said completion status was error.
A bit stumped..

Are you sure that you do not use network share mounted as disk for Plesk backup? This is impossible. Plesk can use only local folders as a backup storage. If you want to change backup location you can simply change the value in registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PLESK\PSA Config\Config\DUMP_D
