Backup issue on PVE 4.1

[brucexx]

I tried to setup backup on 4.1 in a 3 node cluster but it did not work. I set it up for Wednesday 21:00 (EDT) but it simply did not start at all. To my surprise the backup started on Thursday at 2:00 (AM EDT) and finished successfully. I checked the time zone and the time on the server and it is correct. Not sure where to even start troubleshooting this...

Thank you

So the time and timezone on every host are the same? Ok, then please check the cron and Clusterstatus on every host.

cat /etc/pve/vzdump.cron
pvecm status

I did not think to check other nodes as I was just taking the backup on node1 which does have correct time. Node 2 was the offender with HDT timezone.

Thank you

Do I need to reboot after changing the time zone ? I found the node with wrong time zone and changed it but the backup still does not work.

Here is what I have:

# cluster wide vzdump cron schedule
# Automatically generated file - do not edit

PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

30 20 * * 4           root vzdump 100 102 103 202 203 204 --compress lzo --mailto service@leblanc.com --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --storage FreeNAS --quiet 1 --node pve01

It is the same in each node.

pvecm status:

The time is the same on each node in the pvecm status.

Thank you

same with me..
Need help

i set backup time at 00:45, but always start 9.45.

I've checked all time server ( CLI ) and web gui is same.

vzdump and pvecm status, also correct.

I have this problem too.
Tell me, do you need to restart the server after changing the timezone?

У меня тоже есть эта проблема.
Подскажите, а после смены часового пояса перезапускать сервер нужно?

Yes, after reboot the problem disappeared. Now the backup starts at the right time.
