Hi, I have it so all my sites in virtualmin are backup daily. I did this through SSH to my file storage server. However I get an error when it tries to restore a backup.
Downloading archive from SSH server .. .. done
Extracting backup archive files .. .. extraction of /tmp/.webmin/924404_13471_3_restore.cgi/.bashrc failed :
/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
.. failed! See the progress output above for the reason why.
server 1: Latest virtualmin setup on Debian 7 server 2: centos 6 minimal only used for backup
Any ideas why this is happening? I run a pretty stock setup with only Apache being replaced with Nginx.
Howdy,
Hmm, it looks like there may be a corruption issue with the backup file.
One other alternative that could cause that though -- is /tmp on it's own partition?
If so, is that partition large enough to hold that backup archive?
Also, some folks mark that partition with the "noexec" flag -- if that's the case on your server, you may want to try removing that flag to see if that helps.
