Auto backup will not work

[AmokPaule]

Hello,
i have set a backup job to backup all my ves at 6.15 every morning in a directory located in /home/vz/backup.
In the webadmin i set the following things.
Under "Storage"
Storage Name VeBackup
Directory: /home/vz/backup
Enable: Yes
Shared: No
Content: VZDump Backups

Under "Backup"

Cluster Node: Host
Storage: VeBackup (dir)
Day of Week: All days
Start time: 6:15
Mode: Snapshot
Compress files: Yes
Include all Vm's: Yes

root user has all rights on the /home/vz/backup folder. The backup is not happening.
Maybe someone knows where the problem is

Hello, i have installed lvm2 and now it works, thanks for your time and help

 

[tom]

why was lvm2 missing, did you not use our installer?

you SHOULD mention this in the beginning ...

 

[AmokPaule]

I followed the installation guide on the wiki, http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny i thought thats the normal way of installing it on a root server.

 

[tom]

the wiki page tells you to go for lvm based partitioning so if you follow this howto lvm2 will be there.

I will keep that in mind for the future.
