backup compression format

Hi All!

Please help. I've created Sheduled Backup, it's all ok except compression. Backups are made by tar, and gzip or bzip2 doesn't work.

I switched in Module Config compression method, it does nothing. Could you tell me how to make compression work?

You've told us none of the information we need to help you. What OS are you running? Are there any errors?

thanks for reply.

I'm using CentOS 5.2/5.3 everywhere,
virtualmin installed through
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
after basic OS installation. Compression method is gzip in Module Config, all backups are scheduled, in one single archive, then copy through SSH to another server.

So, it's a bug. It's not behaving as documented, and is offering no errors about why. So, file a ticker in the tracker (with the information you've provided here), and Jamie will either get it fixed, or figure out why it's not giving back reasonable errors on your system about why it isn't working (which would also need a fix; either way it's not behaving correctly).
