Hi everyone,
I have my DirectAdmin server set up to run an Admin level backup of all my users at 8:30 every night. It has worked flawless for about two years until last night when the backups simply did not run at all. I have csf/lfd installed which warns me about a "suspicious process" every time my backups run, I noticed last night I did not get that email so I logged in to verify that indeed the backups were not running. At that point I initiated a manual backup using the DirectAdmin admin level control panel and that worked just fine.
I thought it might have something to do with cron but a look at the cron log in var/logs shows this which leads me to believe that the backup command was triggered...
I also found this in the directadmin system log from the night before, but for last night this entry is missing...
Since I was able to manually run the backup this is not the end of the world and I guess I will just wait to see what happens tonight but I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of what might have happened or what log to look at for more potential information as to why the backup did not run?
