Unable to add additional backup target

Submitted by Hal9000 on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 13:09

When I edit a scheduled backup and want to add an additional target, saving the backup settings will ignore that additional backup target, leaving me only with the first one. No error message is shown. My first target is FTP and the second target i want to add would be a local path, in case you may wonder.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

I wasn't able to re-produce this issue. Did you open the "Add another destination" section and enter a path into the field under "Local file or directory" ?

I am sorry, I reported this all wrong. It's the other way round. I have a scheduled backup that backups to a local directory, then I want to add FTP. In this case, FTP is not being saved. The very same data for FTP is used for another scheduled backup on another server as only target and that works.

That works fine for me as well. I presume you entered something in the "FTP server" field?

Sure, I entered all hte fields: FTP server, File on server (I use the strftime style btw), user and password, and delete old backups. Same data as primary target works fine, but as secondary after local for some reason does not get saved.

If you enter an FTP server hostname that doesn't resolve , does it display an error when you try to save the scheduled backup?

Yeah, in this case it fails with an error message.

Ok, I think I see the cause of this, and will have a fix in the next Virtualmin release.

The work-around till then is to delete and then re-create the scheduled backup.
