When i test the system backup with "run the system backup now" in DA it works fine.

Then i checked "use cron for backup" in system backup but the job doesn't seems to be execute (i have it at 5am everyday).

In which file can i see that the cronjob is added? (i don't see a entry in /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron).

Thanks allready speed.
 
For the full system backup, root's cron is used. You can view it by gaining root and then issuing crontab -l

luca# crontab -l
0 4 * * 0 /usr/local/sysbk/sysbk -q
luca# exit
 
Yes, as said above, login with SSH under root or su to root and then type crontab -l

I have experienced times when I changed the cron in DA, but it did not change in crontab. I just went through and did again, then it would change. I don't know why it doesn't do it everytime sometimes?? But, try it a few times if it doesn't work the first time.
