Description of my issue:
I am getting this error message on a number of sites I have installed backup on:

[111003 10:10:37] Couldn't write to the archive file; check the output directory permissions and make sure you have enough disk space available.[len=0 / 3]

Probably 60% of the sites all on the same server give this error. Can you assist?

Many thanks

Hi,

On this particular site they are 755.

Thanks

Interestingly I have just checked a site that the backup ran correctly on and there are no .j01 files in the dir.

Hi,

Just checked the dir permissions and they are already set to 777 !

I Have just checked one of the other failing sites, the dir permissions were 755, odd that its different. I changed to 777 and tried again but it failed.

I went into the 2 sites and deleted all the .j01 files and tried it again. It worked.

I am also using Remote Control 4.0.8 but when using it I get some errors such as:

Backup failed (hard error): A backup error had occurred: Couldn't write to the archive file; check the output directory permissions and make sure you have enough disk space available.[len=4811 / 11715]

But When I check the actual remote site the backup file is indeed created (I selected delete and download the copy to the pc where RC is installed, but it didnt do this).
