I’m running 11.1 and want to have automatic backups using “System Backup” from YaST. Right now I can do manual backups to another machine across NFS and it works fine. But if I set the system to do an automatic backup it fails, every single time, with the same error message regardless of if the storage directory is over NFS or local. Here’s the email the system sends me after it fails…
BACKUP REPORT for Profile system

Some errors occurred during backup. Press Details for more information.

In this particular example it’s claiming it has found no modified files, but I get the same error even if it does find modified files it wants to backup. I don’t understand why manual backups from System Backup works but automatic backups do not. Any suggestions? Thanks
