Vzdump Backup Failure

[Mrdude]

Hi ,
first i will tell you my setup:

proxmox 1.5
cluster of 2

(Master) 1.2.3.18/30
(Node) 1.2.3.62/27




They connect to an nfs share:

Mac Mini
2.26 intel core 2 duo
2 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
attached Drobo 4.0 TB
OSX Server 10.6.3

I setup the vzdump Jobs to do a snapshot of the vms and put them on the NFS share.

the (Node) 1.2.3.62/27 backup works just fine.
the (Master) 1.2.3.18/30 backup does not seem to start (sends no failure email)

Output of Log:

Jun 16 12:30:01 cron3012 (root) CMD (test -x /usr/lib/atsar/atsa1 && /usr/lib/atsar/atsa1)

Jun 16 12:30:01 cron3014 (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsreboot)

Jun 16 12:30:01 cron3018 (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsnetclean)

Jun 16 12:35:01 cron3385 (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsreboot)

Jun 16 12:35:01 cron3387 (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsnetclean)

Any Thoughts???

Seems cron does not start /etc/cron.d/vzdump - does this file exists? Try to restart cron.

Hi,
the /etc/cron.d/vzdump file does exist. (sorry but How do i restart cron?)

also within the past week it seems to have backed up 3.16 TB (with all my Vm's i have a total of max 250gb) so im not sure whats wrong there but it was taking to much space so i just deleted the backup jobs. and i believe it has stopped now.

/etc/init.d/cron restart

Do you have a router or also an firewall between the master-net and the net of node2?
Is the NFS-Server also in the 192.168.0.62/27 net?
Can you normal access the nfs-share from the master?
Like

cd /etc; tar cvf /nfs-mount/etc.tar .
