Backup failed : Failed to open /var/webmin/.webmin/291091_22250_2_backup.cgi/domain.nl_unix : Permission denied

Hello,

When we try to backup virtual servers we get an error message:

Backup failed : Failed to open /var/webmin/.webmin/291091_22250_2_backup.cgi/domain.nl_unix : Permission denied

We are logged in as root user in virtualmin who is running the backup command. We want to download the backup via the browser.

When logged in via ssh taking a look at /var/webmin/.webmin/ we can see several files are being generated, but they are 0 bytes and contain no data.

We need to make a backup because we want to transfer the domains to a different server.

It looks like a permission issue but we cant locate where the problem is.

Hope somebody is willing to guide us into the right direction.

Kind regards, Age

p.s. when running the below command in ssh it works: virtualmin backup-domain --dest /root/backups/ --domain domain.nl --all-features --newformat --all-virtualmin But we cant get it to work within virtualmin gui....
