Why do you use Cron for the backup job and not simply the GUI functions for backups?

It would be much easier ...

 

[Nerik83]

I know but i really want to do it like this to list it in my professionnal document studies for my futur work title.
And i hate not to find the answer

Then you'll have to wait until 11:23am tomorrow for the backup to be created ....

i'have modified the crontab like this and it 's finally working !!!

i'm very thankfull for your help.


" 43 14 * * * vzdump 100 --storage Backup_local --mode snapshot --compress zstd "

It looks like you solved it. But for reference when I went into my Proxmox server and executed "which vzdump" at the command line, it returned "/usr/bin/vzdump" Your original command had /usr/sbin/vzdump which is probably why it didn't work
