Backup plugin - HTML Backup section not working

[Michael]

Hi,

I do have problems to get the HTML Backup section working. When I click on 'Start backup ...' I get status messages on top of the page (Actual HTML backup saved), but the backup file does not get generated. The sql/ db section is working fine though.

Any help much appreciated,
-Michael

Hi!

The HTML backup function needs privileges to execute the external shell script "backup.sh". It also needs tar to work properly; can you check if you are allowed to execute the script? Also check if the "execute" flag of backup.sh is set via chmod.

HTH,
