Log pleskbakup

[prpm]

HI.
In other version of plesk, when use psadump to backup the server, i ckeck the log in /tmp/psadum-<date>.log to see if finished fine.
But now in PLESK 8 with pleskbackup, where is the log file to check it???
Thanks

pleskdump prints its output to your terminal. When using pleskdump in a cron job for instance you can redirect the output to a log file yourself:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all $backupfile > $logfile 2>&1

I've tried running pleskbackup in my terminal specifically to see the output.

Pleskbackup runs and finishes, but it did not output anything into the terminal!

What am I supposed to see?

Also note that I'm running the latest 8.0.1.

If you're not redirecting output you should see a lot of output about what pleskbackup is doing. What command did you execute exactly?

[Limedrink]

That's what I thought too. I'm running:

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all filename

Did filename get created ok?

[0031]

PLESKBACKUP_DEBUG=1 /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup ...

Logs will be in /var/lib/psa/dumps/tmp/ AFAIK

Hmmmm....

I tried that too this week, and that folder is still empty.

Any other ideas?

I contacted SWsoft support regarding the issue and they refused to offer me any support because I'm licensed through my datacenter.

I really hope these full server backups are being created correctly...

I could try a test restore on another server, but I'd need another license for that.

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.
