Prevent Backup Manager creating daily broken files

aless

New Pleskian
Hello,

after a server migration the Backup Manager keeps performing daily incomplete or broken backups. Note that no schedule is active in Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Scheduled Backup Settings. This is very annoying, since every day I need to manually remove the failed backup.

Is there a way to stop the Backup Manager performing the automated backup?

But most important, why Backup Manager sistematically fails and generates broken files?

Thanks.

All the best,
alessandro
 
Make sure that you there are no orphaned backup tasks in /usr/local/psa/PMM/tasks/ directory.
Remove them if necessary.
 
What about records in BackupsScheduled table of psa database?
 
Thank you.

I manage backups differently so I think I will go for deleting those rows in the database. Before I do that though, I would like to understand why the backup process regularly fails.

I found this error log:
Line 428 error: Element 'explicit-ip': Missing child element(s). Expected is ( ip-address ).

How can I investigate more the issue in order to solve it?

Thanks, and all the best,
alessandro
