Backup Problems: Plesk 11.5.40 #MU3

Hi,

There is no error that comes up in UI, i've had a look in the logs and the error messages i've found are:

It's not the original error of this thread.
<description>/bin/tar: httpdocs/cache/page: file changed as we read it

This means that web content changed during backup task performing.
Try to disable domain and check how backup process goes on.
 
Hi

I tried suspending the domain it mentioned but the same is happening. We have had this backup issue on all our servers since MU3 - with the ftp repository file failing to transfer. Also this is happening on a night when no one will be accessing the servers.

The 'failed to pack files' error is the same as others have reported on the forum.

Thanks.

Having looked through the logs again we found this which maybe of more use, as mentioned before disk usage via SSH is showing up as 4Gb of a 45gb USR partition. Helath monitor oddly enough lists the usage as 30Gb though !

Hello! It seems that you have upgrade of mysql server but tables were not upgraded. Try to make mysqlcheck and mysql_upgrade of you databases to fix this inconsistency.
 
Hello,

Yes I resolve with this command:

upgrade mysql
If you meant this:

# mysql_upgrade -uadmin -p`< /etc/psa/.psa.shadow `

ftp-*** is the ftp user account
In my case there are just errors for the "subdomains", "anon_ftp" and "private" folders.
I did not change one of these or other permissions.
 
Hello everyone.

We got the same Error as mentioned by the Threads starter. Only a small part of the Backup gets uploaded into the FTP Repository like 1-3GB, the rest of the Backup stays on the server at /var/lib/psa/dumps/resellers/"res"/domains/"domain.com", wich makes the Server's disk space shrink in days. We managed to avoid the disk flood by chaging tar so its launched with sudo, but this only uploads the small part onto the FTP, the big Part of the Backup gets lost. We always get Errors like this:

Warning: hosting "domain.com"

/bin/tar: subdomains/connect/error_docs: Kann open nicht ausführen: Keine Berechtigung
/bin/tar: subdomains/connect/conf: Kann open nicht ausführen: Keine Berechtigung
/bin/tar: Beende mit Fehlerstatus aufgrund vorheriger Fehler

Warning: hosting "domain.at"

Failed to pack files backup_domain.at_user-data_1307290027 in /var/lib/psa/dumps/resellers/domain/domains/domain.at [ 125097160704 bytes free of 236157153280 bytes total on mount point 0]

Anyone able to fix it yet?
FTP Connection works in my case!
 
I have found that if the free space in / usr is smaller then the copy fails to copy to FTP. In my case is solved by expanding the space of / usr

We hope this update;)
