    Default Weekly backups and Bandwidth data

    Hi,

    Ever since our servers were upgraded to cPanel 11 the weekly backups logs show the following :

    Code:
    ...
pkgacct started.
pkgacct version 6.0 - running with uid 0
using time::hires for speedups
Copying Reseller Config...Done
Copying SSL Certificates, CSRS, and Keys...Done
Copying Counter Data....Done
Copying Bandwidth Data....cp: cannot create regular file `/backup/cpbackup/weekly/SOMEACCOUNT/bandwidth/SOMEACCOUNT': No such file or directory
...
    For some reason (because there's no path bandwidth?) it's unable to backup the weekly bandwidth usage of each account on the server. Is this a know problem/bug?

    Thanks.

    I don't see an entry for such a bug in bugzilla nor do I recall the developers recently working on fixing such an issue. I'd recommend submitting a support ticket regarding this issue so it can be determined what is causing this.

    Hi David,

    I've checked to be on the safe side and it's occurring on all of our cPanel servers during a weekly backup. Our servers currently run :

    Code:
    WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.10.0-S16448
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 x86_64 - WHM X v3.1.0
    Maybe it has something to do with x86_64 ?

    Regards.

    I'm only speculating that it might. Even though we have many customers running x86-64 systems, since there's still fewer x86-64 users than i386 users, bugs are less likely to be reported or detected by our staff in the overall course of working on support tickets.

    I still recommend submitting a support ticket regarding this issue in case it is a bug that it can get fixed.

    Nope, as far as I know it's still not been fixed.

    Code:
    WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-S16999

    Newer version than previously mentioned but still the same bug.

    This was fixed in Current and EDGE in build 17307. Stable and Release will receive the fixes at a later date.

    It's not fixed at all...
    Recently the servers were upgraded to a newer STABLE version and the problem still exists...

    I reopened forementioned ticket.

    Why does it have to take this long before it's released in the STABLE version ? This bug was mentioned almost THREE months ago and have been in cPanel far longer. Besides that, two new versions of STABLE have been released in the mean time, without this bugfix.

    Keep in mind that STABLE will always be the last version to receive any bug patch as it must meet the quality standards for STABLE set by the QA team before it will reach STABLE. Patches and feature enhancements typically take a while to reach STABLE.

    The fix I've found for this issue was to simply remove all of the backup data and run cpbackup with a clean /backup directory. I've only run cpbackup once so far, but it is now backing up the bandwidth data without error. I'll post back here if it breaks on the second backup tomorrow night, but it looks positive so far

    Removing all your backup data to get a *bug* fixed is definitely something you should not do...
    cPanel has to come up with a solution, which is probably just to create the (sub)directory before writing to it...
