Hi,
I have installed Zentyal 2.2-2, and it has been running for a while. It runs only basic services like DNS and File Sharing.
I wanted to configure the backups. First of all I tried to do the backups to a RSYNC compatible NAS device on the network, once I saved the configuration, the ebackup module wont start up anymore. Zentyal now keeps on telling me there are unsaved changes, but everytime I click on save the same thing happens again.
In the meantime I have changes the backup module config to backup to the local file system.
Here is some output when I try to manually restart the ebackup module:
sudo /etc/init.d/zentyal ebackup start
* Restarting Zentyal module: ebackup [fail]
Could not get lock for service: ebackup
Here is some output of /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log
2012/06/12 09:02:16 ERROR> Lock.pm:31 EBox::Util::Lock::lock - Could not get lock for service: ebackup
Please I need some advice, as I need to get these backups running.

Try this command to force lock removal:
sudo rm /var/lib/zentyal/tmp/ebackup.lock

Hi Javier,
That is one of the first things I tried to do.
After I removed the .lock file, it is still impossible to start/restart/stop the ebackup module.
This happened to me before when I tried to set up the backup method to "RSYNC".
I think I have initially entered the RSYNC server name incorrectly, but cannot fix this now, because the config now also does not save properly in the web interface. I always get the "some modules reported a problem" message now, and the cause is the ebackup module lock.
