backup cron doesn't work properly

[asmar]

Hello all,

I've setup admin backup as showing in the attachment; that is running the backup every day at 7 o'clock.
However, the backup is not running every day as under the /Backup folder all I got is the following:

backup:# ls /home/nfsExports/mydomain1/
07-05-09 07-19-09 08-02-09 admin.root.admin.tar.gz
07-12-09 07-26-09 08-09-09 user.admin.myuser1.tar.gz

It gets every week and not every day. Am I missing anything?

Thanks a lot

If its supposed to be stored in /Backup then why are you doing:

ls /home/nfsExports/mydomain1/

Should you not be doing:

ls /Backup

There is a symbolink link, there is no problem with the paths.

There is a symbolink link, there is no problem with the paths.

I am not convinced of that.

What does the message system say about the backups?

mmmmh, 2 file listed are in a week distance between but are different files, was more normal if u had 2 file with same name or .1 and different date...

i use to use a script for save backup in a new directory with the date of the backup for have multiple copy (usualaly i keep last 4 - one each week) so i have a month of backups of each user

make a backup everyday should be heavy for the box if data to store are many

SeLLeRoNe, I've finally used a backup script which made a few days ago as I wasn't able to figure why DA cron is not working as expected.
Anyway, backups are stored on a storage server via NFS and are not more than 40GB. Load is not an issue as it doesn't go higher than 2 with the current server specs.
