Backup fails

I have a daily backup that is failing for one of my servers. The error I get is:

Backing up Webmin ACL files .. .. tar failed : tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive Try tar --help' ortar --usage' for more information.

Any clue on how to resolve this? I would like to find a fix so that I only get emails if there really was a problem.

Thanks! Alan

You're welcome!

The search function would have helped you there. ;) I just searched for "cowardly", since I recalled some issues / forum posts mentioning this particular message.
