AB&R 11.5 and FTP / SFTP errors

Thread needs solution

Hi,

just installed B&R 11.5 on a Windows Server 2012 machine (at Hetzner) and would like to backup directly to the backup location provided by Hetzner via FTP or SFTP.

Unfortunately I get errors.

When I try via FTP, I get this:

I run the backup with the account details of a special user account that matches the ftp login details (as advised by Hetzner). Interestingly B&R is able to access the backup location, lists its content and writes backup files (1.9 GB each). Since there was no ".meta" subdir, after the first try I created one manually, but the backup failed with the same result.

When I try to backup via SFTP I get different error messages:

A backup file had been created in the backup location though, but just one and it was only 3.9 GB.

Any clue how I could resolve this?

Thanks,

Can this be reproduced on small file backup? Are there limitation on connections number imposed by FTP provider? (ABR requires, AFAIK, 4 ) Collect ftp logs as described in http://kb.acronis.com/content/2465 , set up a local ftp server like Filezilla with which ABR works, compare the logs to find the difference.
ABR11 and above don't use .meta folder, xml files with the name of archive are placed in the same folder as .tib files.

Ah, well, yes indeed. The log file states "Sorry, no more connections for your ip". Thank you very much for the hint! How can I limit the number of allowed connections in ABR?

Oops. Should be. Otherwise this feature is useless if there are restrictions regarding the allowed number of IP connections to a ftp backup location.
