Backup

Hi Guys

Currently I am just using Rsync to backup mail at the moment, to another server.

I am struggling with the Email Backup Patch.
I have linked images of what the ISP internal backup does for websites, and my view for the mail backup patch.

For the avoidance of doubt, I cannot find the email backups anywhere on the system.

Can you shed any light on where I can start looking?

Kind Regards

The email-backups are stored in the same path as the other backups. CHeck for mail*

It seems, that your database shows more mail-backups as defined. Is this a multiserver-backup?

 

Hi Florian

No its not a multi server, just standalone.

Its also doing 3 backups a day I have just noticed.

Please see new image of what's in the backup location. 6 versions of my website back up, which corresponds with ISP and a couple of other mail directory's that are empty. I have at least 20 mail boxes "backing up" not just 2.

They are owned by root though. I'm assuming that this is a problem?


Also, according to mysql the files exists and are being backed up?

Also, according to SQL the files are being created, I just cant see them.

 

Can confirm the above.

How do I un-install it, and re install the patch, or is this not worth doing?

 

...and the available diskspace. 13 GB is a very hugh archive. Beside this: a failed backup should be add to the database.

 

There is no need to reinstall anything as long as you did not remove the files. Just make sure, that /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.php ends with

Code:

include "/usr/local/ispconfig/server/mailbackup.php.inc";
die("finished.\n");

and / or that you have this include only once.

 

Hi Florian

No I did not remove any files on the server.

Disk space is not an issue, we have moved away from pop and now only use imap, and there are some very large mailboxes, yes!

Is this a problem?

Also that line was included four times! I have reduced the line down to one and will check tomorrow. Unless I can force is to start now?

 

Maybe you just ran out out diskspace on your temp-dir....

 

Hi Florian

Here is a screen cap of my system usage.

is Temp-dir on /? If so, then it almost is running out before it can do anything. Is this anything that I can change? I purposfully mad /var in its own location, as this this was a huge problem I was having on my previous box.

PS - Thanks for helping

 

Hi Guys

Just a quick update, I stopped all the back up files from running except 2 so that the size would be withing the root temp file size.

Please see images. Do you have any suggestions where to look next?
