Hello fellow users..
I need some help as I'm getting used to using webmin/virtualmin's added functionality, but I'm running into issues while trying to backup my web directories and config file and getting some errors. I tried CHMOD the folder where trying to backing up to and no luck. plz help as I'm trying to setup a successful backup.
In virtualmin trying to backup in backup virtual server (full)
to /mnt/backup/sitebackup failed :
TAR failed : sh: /mnt/backup/sitebackup: Is a directory tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
In Webmin file system backup :
Performing backup of /var/www to /mnt/backup/sitebackup ..
tar: /mnt/backup/sitebackup: Cannot read: Bad file descriptor tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Thanks, Ben

ls -l /mnt/backup/sitebackuptouch /mnt/backup/sitebackup/test.txt
echo foo > /mnt/backup/sitebackup/test.txt
