    Hello,

    for the past few days, I've been having a problem with the SQL backup failing at night. If I start the backup manually, it also fails to create. There's no error message.

    The website backup works fine.

    If I run the script "backup-now.php", I also don't get any errors.
    However, the website backup is about twice the size it should be.

    Where else can I look for errors? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    Thanks for your help, Thomas

    Have you checked that the MySQL root password in the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf is correct?

    Then check the backup file to see what's in there.

    Yes, I just checked. The password is correct. I can also log in using phpMyAdmin.
    Okay, that was my mistake. There was a zip backup file in the Private folder. That explains the size. Sorry.

    Does anyone have any idea what else this could be due to?
