Backup produces corrupted files

[Ade07]

Debian Etch | Plesk 8.3.0 | Python 2.4.4

pleskbackup -v -z clients <CLIENT_NAME> --skip-logs <BACKUP_FILE>

produces corrupted files.

After checking the file with pleskrestore

pleskrestore --check-backup <BACKUP_FILE>

I always get the message, that "Backup file is corrupted". So I can't generate the map-file for this client. The backup of this client (containing 5 Domains) is > 1Gb. All other clients have smaller backup-files and work properly.

While trying to log the backup-process, I get following warnings:

14:21:54 WARN Unfinished SQL query: SELECT sb_site_id, sb_siteowner_id, sb_siteowner_login FROM SBSites WHERE virtualHost_id = '5'
14:21:54 WARN Unfinished SQL query: SELECT sb_site_id, sb_siteowner_id, sb_siteowner_login FROM SBSites WHERE virtualHost_id = '6'
14:21:54 WARN Unfinished SQL query: SELECT sb_site_id, sb_siteowner_id, sb_siteowner_login FROM SBSites WHERE virtualHost_id = '7'
14:21:54 WARN Unfinished SQL query: SELECT sb_site_id, sb_siteowner_id, sb_siteowner_login FROM SBSites WHERE virtualHost_id = '2'
14:21:55 WARN Unfinished SQL query: SELECT sb_site_id, sb_siteowner_id, sb_siteowner_login FROM SBSites WHERE virtualHost_id = '10'

Table SBSites is empty.

Currently I'm not able to make a clean backup of this client. I hope, there is someone, who can help me. Thanks in advance.

Same problem with centos w Plesk 8.3.0

I've the same problem, but with a full backup. Following command: /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup all /backup/`date '+%y-%m-%d'`_plesk-all

I used the backup file approximately 3 weeks ago to restore the contents for a specific domain and all went fine. Now the harddisk is dead and I need the backup file, but now 7 different backup files are corrupt. I think I need another backup mechanism Till then I need to get the contents out of the corrupted backup file if possible. I read some posts about ripmime and untarring, but it looks like swsoft has changed the backup procedure in 8.x. Post were for 7.5.

Possibly after the last Plesk update the backup utility got buggy? Anyone any idea how to get to the contents of the backup file?

Apparently I had the same problem with Virtualmin import (only some files contained in the backup were corrupted), but I discovered that they are not using the command:

/usr/local/psa/bin/backup-unpack

All the files work perfectly, but perhaps this command can help you.
