Auto backups are disabled on our server currently, but I would like to manually create a backup file of a user into the current directory with v-backup-user - yet it refuses with Error: BACKUP_SYSTEM is not enabled.
Is there no flag to override this, or how about making the script aware of whether it is called automatically or manually somehow?
Delete the cronjob and it should work fine for manual backups
won’t it be recreated on upgrade?
No, not that I am aware of at least
Okay, found it in /var/spool/cron and disabled it.
Tried to run v-add-backup-host sftp with all parameters correctly (using ssh plain password login), but it silently fails with error code 1 :c
E_ARGS=1
So not enough arguments
It should work fine have used in the last few days multiple times …
But I supplied all arguments as instructed, including optional ones
And ssh connection also works with the credentials
Same error when using keys.
Maybe some config setting?
The actual issue was the sftp connection now being setup properly, I had assumed it works when ssh works. Maybe I can find a PR to improve that.
It requires SFTP connection… Otherwise it would be called SSH…
Other option is to do it over SCP but not all servers support SCP if they run in nologin shell…
my point was that the script should provide a proper error message rather than a silent failure, as in Towards proper error propagation - #3 by eris
