Server doesn't perform backup
« on: May 05, 2011, 08:30:52 AM »
Hi guys

I have set up a backup job for my server, and nothing happens. I'm just using built in backup system. I'm using backup to USB disk. I've also tried to backup from one SME to another SME servers I-bay, and this doesn't work either.

Problems with built-in features should not bereported in the forums, but in the bugtracker. Please report it there with as much relevant details as you can, what you posted here is very little information to troubleshoot on.

What backup method did you configure? What other parameters?

Please post back a reference too your bug report for future readers. Thanks in advance.
