Hi,
I'm having errors on backup transfers by FTP to local backup server. Have looked at forums for hour and cant figure out this error or where to change a timeout. Any help is appreciated. Seems to be happening on very large files <1GB, but some very large files are getting across successfully (some even over 5GB).

Code:
[2020-09-07 00:13:58 -0400] info [cpbackup_transporter] Net::FTP=GLOB(0x268a1c8) <<<  150 Opening data channel for file upload to server of "/backup/2020-09-07/system/system_files.tar"

here's another showing the ftp login

and here's one that gets thru successfully

Code:

One other thing, when I go to Home »Backup »Backup Configuration > Additional Destinations in WHM, and I try to edit the existing destination or create a new destination, the "Save Destination" box at the bottom is greyed out and unclickable, and I can only 'cancel'. I don't think this is related to the above issue, but what could this be? I was trying to increase the timeout on that page in case it might help, but am unable to. But I don't think that that is the timeout causing the problem.

On WHM 90.0.5 Cloudlinux 7.8

thanks!!

Hello,

I checked in on this and it looked to be a couple of issues, one was the relative path issue on the backup folder and the other portion of it seems to be increasing the timeout, but we're awaiting your feedback as to whether or not you continue to experience issues. If you get a chance we'd love to know if this is still occurring.

Hi, it seems like simply changing the timeout to the max of 300 seconds was enough to resolve the issue. And I was unable to change the timeout because of the relative path being entered with a preceding /. Removed the / and then I could change the timeout and save the changes. Thanks again. Will update here if any further issues.
