scheduled backups not starting

[Binary Bandit]

Hi All,

It there a checkbox or CLI task that I'm missing?

This is the first time that I've tried to use scheduled backups. I scheduled them in the GUI and see an entry in /etc/cron.d/vzdump so they should be working.

I must be missing something obvious.

best,

James

can you post the content of /etc/pve/vzdump.cron ?

also can you post the journal of the time it should have happened?

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for replying. I just checked and the last backup did trigger. The first backup was missed but the second did work. The backups occur every 2 days.

I've added another set of backups ... there are now backups for even days and backups for odd. I'll check again tomorrow and report back.

best,

James

Morning from PST all,

I'm not sure what's changed but backups are working. The new backup set fired off and worked correctly last night.

best,

James
