troubleshooting backups

[stoilis]

Hello,
I've just set up Plesk on a Debian sarge server. This is my first plesk installation.

When initiating a backup from the web interface, I recieve an email informing me that the backup failed with the generic message "Some error occured during backup: resulting dump is removed".

Since no information on this is given, how can I troubleshoot this problem? Is there a log file about this somewhere?

Thank you in advance.

Check your /tmp directory for the log.
