backup command line error after upgrade to 4.0 beta 2

[vkhera]

I upgraded my 4.0 beta1 nodes to 4.0 beta2. Over night I received an error from the backup cron job:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Monaco]400 too many arguments[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Monaco]vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS][/FONT][/COLOR]

The crontab entry for vzdump is this:

vzdump 103 104 --mailto XXXX --storage filer --mailnotification failure --quiet 1 --mode snapshot

After going to the backup tab of the cluster and re-saving the backup configurations, it changed the list from "103 104" to "103,104". I assume this will work tonight

Hi vkhera,

Try updating the crontab jobs. In the crontab entry the command should then use a comma (,) to divide the VMs like this:

vzdump 103,104 --mailto XXXX --storage filer --mailnotification failure --quiet 1 --mode snapshot

Yes, the re-save of the backup config UI page updated the crontab entries for all back up jobs. I would suggest that any configuration files written into the system be re-generated from the configuration database upon upgrades.

Yes, we are going to include it.
