Issue Plesk 10.5.x backup manager stop working after error message

Patric

New Pleskian
hello dear plesk team and dear user community

When we need to make a backup in backup manager (full or incremental), plesk always showing the follwing error message:

Not all the data was backed up into /var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/XXX.XX successfully. tar: option requires an argument – 'T' Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

XXX.XX is normally a domain name...

After that only settings and stuff is backed up, the files are not backed up.

The problem is only in 1 of 4 webspaces.

Plesk version 10.5.3

hope you can help me, thanks

Best regards

Patric
 
An additional idea: If that issue occurs with only a single domain, it could maybe related to a file or directory name that includes invalid special characters like a single quote. When tar is executed, a quote in a source file or directory name can lead to a misinterpretation of tar command line parameters.
