I assume Ubuntu is the same as the Debian version. In that case try placing the backup file here.
cd /
then ls
And look for the "backup" folder. SCP your file there. (Not in the /home/backup directory as the link indicated.)
Give it a try and report back.
So I finally had time to actually try this this evening and had interesting results. The first time - worked flawlessly. I directly copied to the /backup directory. Second time, starting again with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, I copied the backup directly into the /home/backup directory and it produced the same error that it was unable to find the backup. I attempted to SCP into the /directory and it gave me the same error.
The only difference was how I installed it. The first time, I used the advance install command and did not have the mail or Softaculous. The second time I used the simple command on the install page:
Code: Select all
curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh | bash vst-install.sh --force

If it was a brand new install, you'll need to create the /backup folder as I believe it's not done until you run your first backup. Wasn't clear from your response if you created this. You mentioned "/directory" . But wasn't sure what that actually meant.

on the centos my backup folder is: /home/backup but in the ubuntu server, I dont see that folder being generated even after I manually generating a backup.
trying to move users to new server.

I revolved the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 using root:
- Copy the backup file on /backup
And worked.
