Hello,
R1.7 prebuilt VM.

ran the backup script and received the following status:
[root@nadc-nag-p01 nagios]# /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh

Backup stored in /store/backups/nagiosxi/1316815917.zip

but there is no backup file there:
[root@nadc-nag-p01 nagiosxi]# pwd
/store/backups/nagiosxi
[root@nadc-nag-p01 nagiosxi]# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 23 15:14 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 4096 Sep 23 15:11 ..

Any fixes available for this? Thanks.

It seems like zip is not installed by default in CentOS 6, which caused this error. You can run:
Then try running the backup script again. Now you should have the zip file created.

This problem should be fixed in the new VM image that we posted.

Hope this helps!

yes I installed zip and it works as expected. just an fyi that it was not included in base Centos.. seems like a lot of stuff I take for granted was not included in centos 6. :<

I'm glad I could help!
