Backup failed

Hey there. I have a VESTA panel giving the following error when trying to backup:

"An existing backup is already running. Please wait for that backup to finish."

These are the server stats:

Ubuntu 12.x
3GB ram
2 sites running

Any help on how to flush out whatever is hanging up this backup?

I also keep getting a server email that says,

"Can't dump mysql database admin_moodle"

The site is working fine, though.

Hi Kevin,

here are the commands to flush the backup queue:

Code: Select all

rm /usr/local/vesta/data/queue/backup.pipe
touch /usr/local/vesta/data/queue/backup.pipe
Most probably one of the admin_moodle table is corrupted you can repair it using PMA or running following command as root

Code: Select all

mysqlcheck -r admin_moodle

Thanks for your reply. I was able to use the first commands you sent. Yet the second ones you sent returned the following:

admin_moodle.adodb_logsql
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair
admin_moodle.mdl_assign
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair
admin_moodle.mdl_assign_grades
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair
admin_moodle.mdl_assign_plugin_config
note : The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair


These listings went on and on....quite a few entries differing only at the end of each string.

Any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

Now when I click create backup, the system gives the expected notice that the backup is being created. but nothing happens. No additional backup is created.

Can you dump this database using cli to check if it's not corrupted or something?

Code: Select all

mysqldump admin_moodle > /tmp/admin_moodle.sql

Has the same situation.

I have similar problem.

Vesta created 3 backups of 3 websites. Then (cant remember exactly steps) I did:
- start manually backup
- remove 3 backups via MidnightCommander
- remove 1 website from vesta
- add directory exclusion to backup config
- remove 3 backups in vesta
- start manually backup
-- now I have no real backup on /home/backup/ , just temps till end of free space

I used for the moment "rm usr/local/vesta/data/queue/backup.pipe", but this is just for time, because I want backups to have automatically...

Any ideas how can i clear it everything and start auto-backuping without reinstalling whole system?

thanks for any hints
