Backup not working

General Help

Hi all

When trying run a backup, runs for a long time, sticking at Adding items…

It then fails. This is the full error:

Initializing Backup 3
Backup Lock acquired!
Running pre-backup hooks…
Adding items…
Building manifest…
Creating backup…

My backup volume is mounted on /var/spool/asterisk/backup.

Whilst the backup is running, and its adding items, the remaining space on / drops to 0 when it fails. When the backup startes the volume has 50% free (200gb). Any help would be great.

Bump! It would be nice to have backups.

Figured it out partially.

Backup Tar gets put in /var/spool/asterisk/tmp while running then moved to /var/spool/asterisk/backup

In my case, /var/spool/asterisk/backup did not have permissions for the asterisk user to write to this location.

However, a larger issue exists. At some point the backup will fail as no free space will exist on the local volume. It would appear to need 80% or so of the occupied space again as free, depending on compression.

Can we change where the temporary storage location is inside freepbx (/var/spool/asterisk/tmp) rather than mounting a spare volume at that location?

If you can, it would be under Advanced Settings.

Does not appear to be anywhere in there.
