Backup fails immediatly

FranckTAG

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have an issue with the integrated backup of Plesk Panel. I searched a way to fiw it but found nothing valuable.

I have a fresh server with Plesk 11.0.9
With the migration manager I then imported every websites from an old server. I don't recall exact Plesk's version for this old server, which is now reused. Was version 10.something.blah
Everything was ok, the websites worked nicely, emails flowed, life was easy.

The next day, I had an error message into my mailbox saying the backup failed.

The email says:
Backup task finished.

Task was created by with guid (xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx)


Creation date is: 2013-Jul-25 01:38:02
Task status is: error

Dump full name is:

and the attachement named migration.result contains:
Code:

  </execution-result>

The message says it can not rotate the backups, but there is not a simgle backup, so nothing to rotate.

When I run the backup manually, the error occurs immediatly.
When I backup only server configuration (no datas) I have the same error.

Where can I look to find what is the problem ?
 
Unable to rotate dump: The dump rotation is failed with code '1' at /opt/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1221.

code '1' mean following:

# perror 1
OS error code 1: Operation not permitted

There can be different reasons of this error:

- remote FTP server is un-reliable or fails during backup upload or rotation
- If directory on remote FTP server has spaces in its name, then backup rotation will fail

Generally I suggest you contact Support Team for checking and fixing this issue directly on your server.
