thanks for reply.
I'm using CentOS 5.2/5.3 everywhere,
virtualmin installed through
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
after basic OS installation. Compression method is gzip in Module Config, all backups are scheduled, in one single archive, then copy through SSH to another server.

So, it's a bug. It's not behaving as documented, and is offering no errors about why. So, file a ticker in the tracker (with the information you've provided here), and Jamie will either get it fixed, or figure out why it's not giving back reasonable errors on your system about why it isn't working (which would also need a fix; either way it's not behaving correctly).
