Pleskbackup (9.2.3) fails with

M

Guest
Using plesk 9.2.3 (w/o possibility to upgrade which is one of the reasons for the backup)
on debian 64amd, lenny (due to reinstallation)

using

/opt/psa/bin/pleskbackup domains-name -vvz --output-file=/backup/target.bak

I get the error

ERROR The pmmcli STDERR:'the name `ate' is not a tty'

Runtime error: The backup failed with errors!

I looked around tryed some other servers with Plesk 9.5.2 and got the same message.
Looks to me like a problem of basic linux package installation below or - any other ideas ?
