Hi!

Is this a new install or an upgrade?

If it is an upgrade, are you sure this module is from FreePBX 13 and at its latest version?

Good luck and have a nice day!

Hi Nick,

It is an upgrade…but the module version says 13.0.16, and an update doesn’t produce anything newer.

I have had the same problem, but the fix was simple.

In version 12 a directory was created that matched the name of the backup as saved, in my case “FTP_Backup” and the backups are put in there.

In version 13 if you manually create the directory “FTP_Backup” to match the name you saved in the target directory the backup as it works fine.

Sounds like this may be a bug. Did someone open a bug report at issues.FreePBX.org

That was the fix Paul, thank you! The backup program isn’t creating a target directory if one doesn’t exist.

You will have to forgive me as I am new to Freepbx and this forum so I didn’t report a bug as I am not sure how I would do it.

Hi,

@tonyclewis, does the backup module uses CURL for FTP connection?

Thank you,

I made a bug report on it this morning.

Paul, confirm here too, that I created the directory on my FTP server, and my backups work now too.

Posted about this issue on Sept 17th, Backup to FTP does not work but did not post a bug report.

Thanks to you and everyone else for finding this “fix”, and posting a bug report.
