I am getting the follow error message whenever I access the Backup function under ANY of my domains. Any one have ideas as to what causes this error and how to correct it?

As always, I appreciate the feedback.

DumpsList::init() failed: Backup files repository does not exist

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

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/backup/dumps_list.php:194 psaerror(string "DumpsList::init() failed: Backup files repository does not exist")
 
backups on my system are stored in

/var/lib/psa/dumps/

drwxr-x--- 82 psaadm psaadm 4096 May 9 06:30 dumps
 
Hello All,


DumpsList::init() failed: Backup files repository does not exist

This means, that the file/filepath on the server cannot be found. The dump files on our server are found in /var/lib/psa/dumps (PSA 7.1.7, SUSE Linux 9.0) according to :

# cat /etc/psa/psa.conf | grep DUMP
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
#

So why does thes error occur?
As you may see, there might be some direcotries like /var/lib/psa/dumps/<anycustomersdomain.com>
In my case, the Directory <customersdomainwithteprob.com> was missing /var/lib/psa/dumps/ !!!
I created it, chowned the directory to psaadm.psaadm - and everything was working fine again!

Hope this helps.

Regards,
sonshine
