Backup fails on version 1.8.7

[smguenther]

Hello,

after logging in as the administrator, I want to backup the current installation, before I perform the update  to version 1.9.1.

After pressing "System backup, I get a blank screen in the browser (Firefox and MSIE) and the following error on the command line:

ERROR 12-20 13:48:50.947 BackupExport.java 88390 511 org.openmeetings.servlet.outputhandler.BackupExport [http-0.0.0.0-5080-1] - ERROR

Does anyone have an idea, what's going wrong?

Thanks for any suggestions or hints,

Hi,

no ideas so far?

Updating to 1.9.x would be fine, having a backup would even be better.

Hello

I have exactly the same problem! Everything in OpenMeetings works properly, except backup system. I am using OpenMeetings 1.8.8 and Debian server.
