Hey !

I have set up a PBS, a daily backup job (which is supposed to run at 3 AM) and could start it manually without any error.
Yet, when it's 3AM, nothing happens. Nothing at all. No error, no logs, nothing. And of course, no backup either.
I checked the `/etc/pve/jobs.cfg` and it seems to me that it is well configured :
vzdump: backup-849d6ecf-fec9
schedule 03:00
enabled 1
mailnotification failure
mailto myemail@email.com
mode snapshot
node 000prxmox01l
notes-template {{guestname}}
prune-backups keep-last=5,keep-monthly=1
storage backups
vmid 100,102,103,104,107,108,109,110,111,115,116,117,119,120,121,200,201,202
The `pvescheduler status` command shows me a `running`, as well as `systemctl status pvescheduler.service` tells me it is active and enabled.
No logs in `journalctl -fu pvescheduler` (just the restart I asked).
pveversion says : `pve-manager/8.1.5/60e01c6ac2325b3f (running kernel: 6.5.13-3-pve)`

I'm running out of ideas...

Do you have anything in mind ?

Thanks in advance !
 
Yeah, no task is even started, so there's no task with any error... Same in the logs, nothing about a backup job being started...
The only errors I have are about certificates renewing, a few weeks ago, but it's off topic as I have changed my certification method (and it's all working well).
I've set up the job on January the 3rd, and tested with a manual start which is maked as OK (and I do find the backups on my PBS).
That's why I'm a bit lost...

To not chase already fixed bugs, I would suggest to update your (whole) environment first, reboot it afterwards and then look further, if still needed at all...
