backup keeps disabling the remote location

[tagteam]

I am using onlinefilefolder.com (Godaddy) as my offsite backup location. However about a week ago it started disabling it and wont write the backup there. If i use a script that I wrote to ftp the files there it works but the automated cpanel backup wont. Is there any log for this or some way to figure out why this is happening.
Thanks

Try to run backup from ssh and then check log whit tail -f,

New system -> /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup
Legacy -> /script/cpbackup

Or check old logs , are located on -> /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup

When I change to new backup system I get same problem.

Try to set maximum time on WHM under -> Advanced Settings : Maximum destination timeout 50000 in seconds

Also I set ERRORTHRESHHOLD: 3 to 20 on /var/cpanel/backups/config

But check logs before make changes.

You can find backup logs in

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup

What is status of onlinefilefolder.com destination in:
WHM Home >> Backup >> Backup Configuration

Are you able to successfully add and enable your Godaddy space??

Thanks for the reply,
I dont think the issue is with the backup time. the advanced settings is for if there is something taking a long time doing the backup on the server. I think my issue is that GoDaddy is really no that great of a service and it sometimes is slow and so the system thinks it cant connect. I am able to successfully add and enable Godaddy space. Each time it returns that it is disabled I am able to re-enable and verify it.

This worked fine for about two weeks and then started failing. Is there a way to have it wait a little longer while it tries to connect to the offline server because I think that is what the issue is.

Hello

Please review the following log file for errors during the FTP transfer:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup_transporter.log

Check for any issues with the upload of files via FTP.

Thank you.

The only thing the log shows is

[2013-08-11 02:09:49 -0600] info [cpbackup_transporter] cPanel Backup Transporter Queue Daemon is being stopped.
[2013-08-11 02:13:29 -0600] info [cpbackup_transporter] cPanel Backup Transporter Queue Daemon started.

I posted a ticket with support and they recommended:

increasing the amount of errors before the transport is deactivated to a larger number. You can do that in this file:

/var/cpanel/backups/config

Also, I you should increase the timeout time transport settings; I would bump it up to 300 seconds before it reports an error.

I did as suggested and my offsite backup is working again.

This bug is still driving me crazy, the remote location gets disabled twice a week.
I hate it that I should edit config files in my shell to get a simple working backup.

Why on earth did someone decide to disable the remote location if a connection fails?
To make REALLY sure it will fail all following days?
Madness.

I recommend opening a support ticket so we can take a closer look and help determine the reason why remote destinations are failing.

Thank you.
