Helo,

i use proxmox 5.4-3 . I have set backup schedule. I saw that sometimes they not start... I don't any data in log. I don't get any emails from server.
 
Hi,
could you share the contents of /etc/pve/vzdump.cron? What is the intended backup schedule?
 
0 21 * * * root vzdump 107 113 150 --compress gzip --node vmsrv2019 --mailto --storage NASBACKUP --mode snapshot --mailnotification failure --quiet 1
0 18 * * 3 root vzdump 114 --mailnotification failure --quiet 1 --node vmsrv2019 --compress gzip --mailto --storage NASBACKUP --mode snapshot
 
0 21 * * * root vzdump 107 113 150 --compress gzip --node vmsrv2019 --mailto --storage NASBACKUP --mode snapshot --mailnotification failure --quiet 1
0 18 * * 3 root vzdump 114 --mailnotification failure --quiet 1 --node vmsrv2019 --compress gzip --mailto --storage NASBACKUP --mode snapshot
So the plan is to backup 107,113,150 every day at 9pm and 114 every Wednesday at 6pm. Is that correct? Which job did not execute? Is there anything in /var/log/syslog around that time?
 
Just to make sure, does /etc/cron.d/vzdump exist and is it a link to /etc/pve/vzdump.cron?
What does journalctl -u cron.service show?
