<span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please try '--log=backup.log' (with '=').<br>
</div>
<div> </div>
</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</span>
<div>That was unfortunately only a typo in the email. And not when running the actual command. </div>

<div>From my command line.</div>
<div>I have attached the command including the entire output in plaintext.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now copied the command from the attached file and it worked for me.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>If it still does not work for you, please run this:<br>
<br>
BACKUP_ENV_CLEAN=1 sh -x /usr/bin/engine-backup --mode=backup --scope=files --file=veng.bak --log backup.log > engine-backup-out 2> engine-backup-err<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>and check/post engine-backup-out and engine-backup-err (as links to some pastebin service, please).</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your help Yedidya! The issue went away after a fresh engine install on my new hardware.</div>
