Problems with backups

[dlarmeir]

Hello, I am a noob here, and I am trying to configure cpanel 11 for ftp backups to a remote site. Everytime i run the backup command I get the following error:

[email protected]> /scripts/cpbackup --force
Backup Not Enabled
~
[email protected]> /scripts/cpbackup --force

Can't call method "login" on an undefined value at /scripts/cpbackup line 468, <PWCACHEENT> line 41.

It looks to me like maybe the ftp login is not working?? I am trying to gain a literal interpretation of this error, as the account login I have setup for remote backups is working. If you guys have any suggestions I would be most appreciative!

Did you enable backups as the warning says?

I verified and it appeared it was shutoff doh' however when I run the /scripts/cpbackup nothing happens, so I run :
[email protected]> /scripts/cpbackup2 --force
Daily Backup is up to date

I am not sure where the number 2 came from,but even though it is another day it wont let me do it. Sorry guys, I am a n00b at this function totally

Ok, rename your cpbackup directory to something else so it doesnt see the date of the files from its original location and run it again. Surely you dont want to delete backups for any reason if they exist already.

hey guys

why use /scripts/cpbackup2 ? that seems to be a really old backup script.

How do you run thr backup when the servers load is high ?? /scripts/cpbackup --force ?

cheers
