Support

Hello,

I have a lot of problems with my automatic backups, sending via ftp in post-processing and quotas.

I use post-processing on my sites to send via ftp to a remote server.

1. My first concern and the reason for this post is that on some sites, post-processing does not work. I mean that the ftp connection works, but Akeeba can not send the file on the server. In this case, a file of 1.4GB. Yet this same file has already been sent successfully. How and where to see what does not work ? I tested in backend and SSH command line. The only error message I get is that the post-processing has failed...

2. Another point, I see that the quota management via ftp does not work. Well, it's not a big problem, because my goal is to leave as few files as possible on the hosting, to limit the space occupation by backups. So what I would like to do is to have maybe 2-3 backups maximum on my site, but keep the ones I want on my server (ftp) which is a storage server, with much larger capacities at lower cost. So I have to be able to manage it manually.

However, if I have the same problem with post-processing, how can I be notified by email that the ftp upload did not work?

Regards,

Frédéric

Hello,

Thank you.

I run my backup from CLI.

And for my problem of ftp post-processing, how can i find the problem ?

OK, is it possible to make this topic private for the sending of my log file ?

For the command line, i dont understand. Here is the coomand i use : 25 23 * * * /path/to/php /my_site_path/web_lelapinbo/cli/akeeba-backup.php

I dont have "> /dev/null 2>1"

OK, i got it. If i put in my SSH command line MAILTO=my@email it work. So i have to filter now depending of text.

Ho, ok. There it is.

Sorry, but have error : file type is not supported...

I try on txt file

OK, thank you for all.

I try to upload with SFTP (SSH), if it that you talk about.

I can connect when test the connection, but unable to upload the files. The error i have is : Could not open remote SFTP file /backup_sites/site-lelapinbo.ch-20220830-132954-BjQvx3AS99Uuk7jj.jpa for writing

In the initial directory, i only put the /backup_sites/ folder. I dont have any other path, even if i connect direct with Filezilla for example.

So i dont know why it dos not work... I put my log here. Have i to ask my host for another path info ?

Now i try to do the same test with another site in Joomla 4.

When try to connect to the sftp (Test in the Akeeba config) i have an error message : Akeeba Backup was able to connect to your server, but it could not upload a test file. Backup upload could fail.

This is the same credentials... I don't understand it anymore

EDIT : With my last test, Joomla 4 => SFTP cURL, it work. I will continue testing now... (sorry for all this messages)

OK, it work now with SFTP cURL, even with my first site with upload problem. 

I just have now to find the right split archieve parameter. This site is 1.4 GB.
