Hi,
XCloner works with creating backups, and I can see that database-sql.sql is included in the resulting tar file.
However when I try to restore the website from a previous backup I get to this error:
Edit: I use Joomla 3.3.3, mysql5. I checked the database-sql.sql, it has the correct contents. I tried different installation paths, but to no avail.
Just wanted to let you know. Since it is a bit error-prone and cumbersome to extract the database-sql.sql via mysql client into the database.

When restoring, did you check the disk space available that's being left? try extracting the backup archive manually and restart the resrtore process with "Skip files restore" option checked and see if that helps

Thank you for the quick reply.
I tried your suggestion, still the same error.
However, I manually extracted the database-sql.sql and put it where the system expects it:
$JOOMLA3_DIR/administrator/backups/database-sql.sql
On the source system, right next to the backup tar files. (I've made several now, so space was not the issue here.)
And this time, it worked! No error message.
I've yet to check if the DB has the backup'ed contents now, though.
My guess is that somehow the extraction from the tar file is skipped.
