Datacenter backup logfile location

[gregor]

Good day,

I created a backup in the datacenter to backup one of my nodes 3 times a week. I set that he should send me an email. Somehow this backup is not working. Where can I found the log files to troubleshoot this problem

Regards

I set that he should send me an email. Somehow this backup is not working.

What is not working - the backup or the email?

 

[gregor]

Both . But when the backup works I think that the email will follow.

Any hint in /var/log/syslog? Maybe you need to restart cron:

# service cron restart

Does that help?

I see this after restarting the service and a backup planned on 19:23 "
May 31 19:17:01 proxmox2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[802145]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

What is the output of

# ls -l /etc/cron.d/vzdump

and

# cat /etc/cron.d/vzdump

 

[gregor]

What is the output of
# ls -l /etc/cron.d/vzdump

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jan 24 12:31 /etc/cron.d/vzdump -> /etc/pve/vzdump.cron

and

What is the output of
# cat /etc/cron.d/vzdump

Nothing, it is empty


Update: There is a bacup file on my storage create this night at 01:00, but when I look in Datacenter - Backup the schedule is gone?

 

[dietmar]

but when I look in Datacenter - Backup the schedule is gone?

The file is empty, so there is no job,

 

[gregor]

Is this normal that is is empty after a Job? I was expecting that is was working in a schedule so it would do it every week?

best regards

You claimed that the job never run, so it is more likely that there was no content (maybe save action failed?)
