Backup Script Error

Dear All,

I noticed that whenever i enter "dhis2-backup" on the terminal it does
not ask me for the instance name.
Because i create a user whose responsibility is to run automated
backups but it is now since every time it executes the backup command,
the system response with an error shown below:

testuser@dhis:~$ dhis2-backup dhis
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "testuser" failed:
FATAL: database "testuser" does not exist

···

Dear All,
The issue had been solved. The instance user (dhis) didn't have
permission to the sub-folders in the backup directory; i change
permission and it is OK.

backup user (testuser) created is giving a link to the directory so
that he can have access to the directory which makes him to be OK.

I hope members will check their instances because it is important we
check our instances from time to time in case anything had broken.
