Scheduled database backup variables problem

Hello,

if I set the scheduled backup of databases in webmin and use the backup path like /media/backup/db/%Y-%m-%d the backup files are saved to /media/backup/db/%Y-%m-%d not to e.g. /media/backup/db/2011-09-22

This method worked for me before.

Howdy,

Can you verify that in Backup and Restore -> Scheduled Backups -> Your Backup Name, that "Do strftime-style time substitutions on file or directory name " is still checked in "Features and Settings"?

Thank you Eric, that was the problem. It's all working now.
