Cpanel Full Backup - Ftp

[adoute]

I'm having an issue trying to have cpanel do a complete backup of my site, and send the file to my home ftp server. This used to work in the past, but now all I get is a very small (either 0k, 4k, or 8k) file. I also get the 'Backup Completed' email. My FTP server at home doesn't seem to be the problem - I can upload a file that is roughly the same size that I expect the backup to be, using the same logon credentials that I tell cpanel to use.

 

In the ftp server logs, everytrhing looks fine - except I'm not sure about the ALLO line... The response code it gives basically says the server is ignoring it, though. Here is the log entry from my server:

 

server20.totalchoicehosting.com UNKNOWN nobody [03/May/2004:07:07:47 -0400] "USER ******" 331 -

server20.totalchoicehosting.com UNKNOWN ****** [03/May/2004:07:07:47 -0400] "PASS (hidden)" 230 -

server20.totalchoicehosting.com UNKNOWN ****** [03/May/2004:07:07:47 -0400] "STOR backup-5.3.2004_07-05-46_doutene.tar.gz" 226 8192

server20.totalchoicehosting.com UNKNOWN ****** [03/May/2004:07:07:47 -0400] "QUIT" 221

 

This is my latest attempt - and resulted in an 8k file, which appears to be an invalid tar ball.

 

Can anyone offer any insight into what may be going wrong? If it would be more approprioate for me to open a help ticket, than I will do so.

 

Thanks -
