Partially completed backup of Virtualmin

Hello,

I recently upgraded PHP to version 5.6 via dotdeb on Debian 7. Since then I receive Emails regarding partially completed backups.

Depending to the logs all backup actions are done but 4 of 12 virtual servers are listed with errors only in the summary.

I searched the web and support sites but found nothing related.

Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how to solve?

Thanks in advance and best regards Christian

Howdy,

If a backup doesn't complete properly, it should generate an error regarding what exactly didn't work properly.

You can see the full backup logs by going into Backup and Restore -> Backup Logs.

Can you share what the exact error is that you're seeing? We can then assist in resolving that... thanks!

Howdy,

It doesn't look like you're seeing a PHP related error.

What I do see is several mentions of this error:

Backing up slave DNS zone configuration
    .. domain not found!

Now, it looks as if you've configured it to continue the backup process, even when there's an error. Because if that, your backups are actually good.

You should have all the data for your various domains included in the backup, minus the problem shared above.

Figuring out what's causing that is the next step though.

Were you perhaps trying to setup a slave DNS configuration recently?

Hi Eric,

oh my... you are right. I was so focused on searching "errors" .. I missed that.

I changed bind settings and DNS Setup shortly before the php upgrade. I totally forgot about that.

I removed the servers slave dns features. I guess it's working now as intended :)

Thanks alot for opening my eyes! :)

Best regards Christian
