What does backup backup?

[Pagemakers]

If I backup the entire server and not just a domain, does it backup SQL databases etc etc?

I’ve searched the documentation and can’t find this information.

Yes, it should be included to backup.

I have done 3 complete server backups over the past 3 nights and the backup is correctly made in the personal repository however, when I look on the current backups tab there is the backup saying failed. If I click the backup it then opens to say:

0: backup.abstract-repository.item.php:59
__backup__abstract_repository__item->getDump()
1: backup.abstract-repository.item.restore.php:34
__backup__abstract_repository__item__restore->accessItem(string 'GET', NULL null)
2: UIPointer.php:596
UIPointer->access(string 'GET')
3: plesk.php:38

Whats causing this and has the backup been made or not? The file is sitting in the repository.

Do you have vsftpd server for ftp repository?

 

[Pagemakers]

Yes I do...

In that case it is known problem with such ftp servers. It will be fixed but now you should use other ftp server.

Hmmm….Actually, how can I tell if I have this type? I can only access the backup (1&1) via telnet and to access it I enter ftp …… not vsftpd ….. So maybe I am not vsftpd after all.

The backup is made in the repository but the current backup also says failed, so I have no idea if it has failed or not.
