Remote Backup - [RESOLVED]
Remote Backup - [RESOLVED]
I'm trying to setup a remote backup (admin user logged in > Server > Configure > Backup > Remote backup) using SFTP and I get the strange error: Error: expect utility not found
Does anyone know what this error mean and how to correct it?
It's worth mentioning that I can configure Remote Backup using the other protocol option (ftp), though I don't know yet if it's actually working (sending the actual backup to the remote server via ftp).

Re: Remote Backup
By the way, I get the same error when I try to run the following command on ssh
v-add-backup-host sftp HOST USER PASS DIR
v-add-backup-host sftp HOST USER PASS DIR
Re: Remote Backup
OK I found it! The expect package should be installed before using sftp. The command to install it is:
Code: Select all
apt-get install expect

Nice!
What was your OS? I don't see not installed expect package.

This problem could be resolved in two ways:

This problem could be resolved in two ways:
- VESTA install script checks the presense of expect package and installs if needed
- The backup script checks the presense of expect package and installs if needed
