Issue SFTP backup failing

f.irgolitsch

New Pleskian
Hello,

I've been trying to get SFTP to work so I can create remote backups. The backup is failing with the following error however:
Unable to create remote backup. Error: Unable to export backup: Transport error: Extension transport: ext://sftp-backup/server/: Failed to upload content to sftp://domain.com//plesk/backup/backup_2006021430.tar: cURL error (79): Upload failed: ssh error (-1/-43)

I haven't found anything that can help in the plesk support pages and I have no idea where to look to get to the root of the problem.
 
Most probably that filesystem of the remote SFTP storage does not support opening files for reading and writing.
Try to remount the filesystem to make it writeable and readable.
