Just to let you know, there seems to be a problem with SFTP transfer destinations and relative paths. This has been touched on in a couple of other threads (end of FTPS (Secure FTP) for WHM Backups?, also In Progress - [CPANEL-24094] Relative paths required for backup destinations) but there doesn't seem to be any progress.
We have a number of VPS which all backup nightly to our Diskstation. This has always worked fine in the past. We are setting up a new server for the first time in ages and are trying to set up the diskstation as the additional destination. In the past we've always set the destination path to:
/Backup/Servername
and this has always worked fine. However, when I try to enter this now, i get a message saying 'You must enter a relative path'. If i remove the / from the front, it accepts the address but the validation doesn't work. It connects to the server and writes the validation file, but fails to delete it saying:
"Error: Validation for transport “Diskstation” failed: Could not delete the file we had uploaded onto the server: Couldn't delete remote file: No such file"
The file is there and can be deleted easily. But the backup system can't see it.
If I manually change the relevant destination file at var/cpanel/backup to add the / back in, everything works fine again. I think this needs looking into as clearly we aren't the only ones having this problem.
