New backup does not retain

[fate12]

I've enabled the new backup after using the Legacy backup for a while.
I've set it up so it should retain the backups locally as well as send them through FTP.
I should retain three daily backups.

Its sending the backup through FTP but no old backups are retained so there's always only one backup.
Also it does not save the backups local while I've set to do it.
Tried changing the local directory but that made no difference.

I could look in the log but have no idea what to look for.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks!

Hello

Please check the backup logs in:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup

Look for error messages, or any output that looks like it may be an error.

Thank you.

There are no errors in the log.
The backup seems to ignore the directory I set in Cpanel for the backups. I've set it to /backup-new/

Some snippets:

-------------------

The directory /home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily is empty apart from:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Oct 29 07:20 cpbackupstatus.cfg
So local backups are not stored.

A snippet from the ftp part:

---------------------------------------------

It does not save the previous backup.
Where are all the backup settings stored? Is there some configfile?
It seems to ignore most settings I set in Cpanel.

To update, it looks like this may have been a temporary connection issue with the remote FTP server. Subsequent backup generations have completed successfully.

Thank you.
