It seems that the file selection dialog is not working right. It requres you to select a file not a direcotry. I removed the filename and it worked.

for most I should say the key one it failed on the tar file for the home directory and stopped.

getting closer

I'm not sure I understand what problem you're having? What file selection dialog? What are you doing, and what is happening that isn't right (and is there an actual error message you can give us)?

I am attempting to restore the backups I made to my server this morning. When you click on ftp or upload file it gives the file field to be filled in with a url to the file. If you use the browse or ... button it expects a file not a directory to return you to the brower and fill in the the box for you.

Selecting any of the files in the restore directory ie domain.com and it will tell you that it is not a valid file I copied the error in an earlier post.

Delete the file name and submit and virtualmin reads the directory and returns you a list of the domains you wish to restore.

I have gotten one to restore but not all The most important one is reporting an error in the tar file for the home dir and stopping

I am now attempting another round of restoring.

Now it is complaining

Restore failed : DBI connect failed : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I will try to check that.

MySQL was not started

started it and it continued stopping at failed to create postgress Alias file

I back paged removed the domains that install and started again.

It seems that the restore fails randomly Mostly with tar file failure. removing installed domain seems to get on to the next.

unfortunately the user home directories did not get restored fortunately the are in my daily incremental though I will lose several hours of mail. I will look again into the full backup I did earlier today

I just tried to restore from directory on my local box that I do incremental restores to. The file selection dialog will only allow a specific file and NOT let you select the dir or let you edit the url. Update fails stating that the file is not a valid restore file.

How do you restore mail from this incremental backups?

How can I Disable suexec in Virtualmin??

I found it:
System Settings → Server Templates → Default Settings → Apache website, in the 'Automatically add appropriate SuExec directive?' field.
