# /etc/init.d/backuppc restart
Starting backuppc: No /usr/bin/perl found running; none killed.
2008-09-09 23:23:23 Another BackupPC is running (pid 3093); quitting...

La causa es que no se ha detenido correctamente el servicio y quedan los habituales archivos de estado, bloqueo y pid. Hay que eliminarlos:

# cd /var/log/BackupPC
# rm status.pl
# rm BackupPC.pid
# rm LOCK

Iniciar de nuevo el servicio:

# /etc/init.d/backuppc start
Starting backuppc: ok.

Hay una forma más elegante de hacerlo, editando el archivo de estado para evitar perder los últimos cambios, pero eso requiere cierto tiempo sobre todo dependiendo del número de servidores. Por lo general lo primordial es recuperar el servicio cuanto antes, por lo que es un mal menor aceptable. Queda pendiente para otro post comentarlo.

The cause is that Plesk can´t write in the temporal folder specified to storage backups because the owner is root:

ll /var/lib/psa/dumps/
drwx------ 9 root root 4096 Apr 1 14:21 tmp

To fix this change the ownership of the folder:

chown psaadm.psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps/tmp

Now you can do backups in Plesk.
