Resolved Backup Manager not working correctly

Johnny9977

Basic Pleskian
I've a problem. Since a few days my backup manager don't works anymore. This is the error I have:

Code:
Not all the data was backed up into /var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/mywebsite.de successfully. Total space: 605.00 GB; Available space: 569.00 GB; Mounted on: /. /bin/tar: unrecognized option '--user' Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information. /bin/tar: /tmp/pmm-dci-chn-kG6bMebB:1: location of the error

Any idea whats wrong here?
 
In the files or directories that are being backed up there is one file or directory that is named "--user". When this is encountered by tar the script thinks it is a command line parameter. This symptom occurs with all files and directories that start with a double dash.

Solution: Locate the --user file and other files that are starting with "--" and rename these files.
