sbackup

does not run on configured time

Asked by Muhammad Mujeeb Asif

i am using sbackup ver 0.11.4

from schedule tab i set "cron time defination = 0,5,10,15,20 8-20 * * * "

for testing i press button 'Make a backup Now' its working perfect (log updated,mail sent).

but it didn't run on scheduled time. (log shows it runs never. i have tested when system was not idle)

sbackup should take backup at every 5 min from 8-20hr . log should be updated. mail should be sent.

Hi Muhammed,

Are you running sbackup as user or as root? Did you check if you are using the right sbackup profile?

Could you please post the relevant line from your crontab, use 'crontab -l' for your user crontab, or /etc/crontab for root?

Best,
Anton.

hello i am using only GUI
after installation configured default profile using GUI only; saved it and expecting it will be scheduled .

-running it as a root
-i have only one sbackup profile i.e default
-no crontab exists for individual users
-/etc/crontab contains nothing regarding sbackup except
 38 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --repo$
 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --repo$
 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --repo$
-/etc/sbackup.conf contains
 [schedule]
 cron = 0,5,10,15,20 8-20 * * *

OK, thank you. So it appears sbackup fails to write the custom schedule into /etc/crontab. Could anyone confirm this behaviour?
