Scheduled Backups Doesn't Start

[roisgs2]

Hi,
I have PVE3.3 Installed.
I can backup any kvm/openvz manually, but when the backup scheduled to 5 A.M. for example, it doesnt start at that time or start at all.
there is nothing in the logs, only old log from my last manual backup.

very strange bug that appears to be only in version 3.3.
thank you,

Hi,
to see where the issue came from, post the output of following commands:

cat /etc/cron.d/vzdump
ps aux | grep cron
ls -l /etc/pve/qemu-server/
ls -l /etc/pve/openvz/
zgrep vzdump /var/log/syslog*

Hi,
for this node only the first cron entry is used, because on the other two the VMIDs don't fit.
And in the log the backup-job is started...

Is all right with the storage backup-buffer? Post Content of /etc/pve/storage.cfg and "df -h"

Are there still running old backup-jobs? Post output of "cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/103.conf"

Udo

you mean cat /etc/pve/openvz/103.conf

Hi,
not really - I assume it's an kvm VM and looking for an entry like this in the config:

lock: backup

you see any process with

ps aux | grep dump

How looks the backup-dir?

ls -lsa /mnt/pve/backup-buffer/dump/

I already check the option that a stuck backup denies from other backups to execute, but no running backup found.
I didn't understand what to check for with that command ls -lsa /mnt/pve/backup-buffer/dump/
there is backups in that directory but those I manually execute.

Hi,
sure that there is nothing to see with time stamp 20:07? Because the log say, the backup-job is started.

yes I am sure, there isn't any scheduled backups there.
and a strange thing is that I didn't get any error messages in proxmox or to my email.

I got an email from SRV24:

Unknown option: mailnotification
400 unable to parse option
vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS]

does it help understanding the problem?

400 unable to parse option
vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS]

Hi,
yes!
man vzdump say mailnotification is default on and used with only one -

-mailnotification (always | failure)  (default=always)

My vzdump-cron looks so

0 4 * * 6           root vzdump 326 327 328 329 --quiet 1 --mode snapshot --compress lzo --storage backup

Is your system uptodate?

What is the output of

pveversion -v

I am also on newest version and got the same error: "Unknown option: mailnotification 400 unable to parse option vzdump {} [OPTIONS]" I have 2 nodes, both with the same --mailnotification always option in /etc/cron.d/vzdump. Both nodes are the same version, but only one node has this error, the other runs the backup without problems. I dont think i should just change "--mailnotification always" to "-mailnotification always" manually in the crontab. How can I fix this?
