Hi All,


I’m having issues using the engine-backup command.


When running:


engine-backup --mode=backup --scope=files —file=veng.bak --log backup.log

Please try '--log=backup.log' (with '=').

That was unfortunately only a typo in the email. And not when running the actual command.



I get back the following error:


readlink: missing operand

Try 'readlink --help' for more information.

/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1405: : No such file or directory

Notifying engine

/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1472: : No such file or directory

/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1405: : No such file or directory

FATAL: Failed notifying engine


Log file is not created.

I receive similar errors when changing the scope to ‘all' and ‘db'.


I’m running:


CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

oVirt Engine Version: 3.6.2.6-1.el7.centos

Engine is running on bare metal.


I have tried this with SELinux in Permissive mode. No difference.

All packages are up to date.


Can anyone advise a fix for this or if I’m doing anything wrong?


Thanks in advance,
