How to backup on Proxmox?

[eiger3970]

root@proxmox:/var/log# vzdump 161 --quiet 1--mode snapshot --mailto myCorrectEmailAddress@domain.com --compress lzo -storage local
400 unable to parse boolean option
vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS]

Yes, I tried with nano /var/log/syslog, but file has code in it.

you have errors on the command line, it seems, try exactly

vzdump 161 --quiet 1 --mode snapshot --mailto myCorrectEmailAddress@domain.com --compress lzo --storage local

the "code" should be the syslog...
it should contain lines similar to my post #8 above

root@proxmox:/var/log# vzdump 161 --quiet 1 --mode snapshot --mailto myCorrectEmailAddress@domain.com --compress lzo --storage local
Cursor blinks slowly for about 5 seconds, then returns to
root@proxmox:/var/log#

I then checked /var/log/syslog, but still no data in the syslog file.

this is really strange... even if the backup fails vzdump should log it in syslog, and the MTA should send a mail about it...
