Backups aren't created on a daily basis?

[psygarden]

I've come to the conclusion that backups haven't been taken on a daily basis, could anyone tell me where it best start looking?

I did a quick search on the forum (only 2 since there is a 60 second delay each time i search) and found that i should check /etc/cron.d/ispcp

This is the relevant text from that file:

Quote:# Backup
0 3 root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all yes &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-all-mngr.log
0 3 root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-ispcp noreport &>/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-ispcp-mngr.log

What else should i check to start the backups automatically at 3am each day?

greetings,

Check your /tmp for a .lock file and delete it.
Next is, check your Logs:

Code:

/var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-all-mngr.log
var/log/ispcp/ispcp-backup-ispcp-mngr.log

Do you use bzip2 or gzip ?
Could be set in the ispcp.conf.

and in the cron file... the lines should start with

0 3 * * * root ....

I didn't see the stars in your example above - and it's not because of the fog....

Cron does not need a reload or restart after a modification of the crontabs.

ok - I always do the safe way :-)

Judging by the looks on Munin the backups have been taken the past few days, still have to check them manually though!

Thanks,
