Backup command creates the backup directory but no backup #1031

Closed Rob-bb closed 5 years ago

Rob-bb commented 5 years ago

issuing the 'arkmanager backup' command will go through the motions, it will create the backups directory specified in the config, compress the files and say it created a backup, but the backups directory is empty.

Where is it creating the backup?

sphbecker commented 5 years ago

Check arkmanager.cfg for the location, here is the default... arkbackupdir="/home/steam/ARK-Backups"

As I mentioned in the original post, it will create the backup dir specified in the config if it does't exist but the back file is not placed in that directory.

It should store the backup yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss.tar.bz2 in a yyyy-mm-dd directory in the backup directory.

Does it show [ OK ] for each of the steps it does?

Rob-bb commented 5 years ago

Yes it does, ignore me I am being dumb.
