I havent played with crontab in forever, and I cant code at all, but I
really wanted to try to automate my backups a wee bit.
I made a basic script (qubackup) in the ~/ dom0 directory:
/home/bob/qvm-backup --yes --verbose --compress --passphrase-file
~/PASSPHRASE_FILE.txt /run/media/bob/drobo/backups/ anon-whonix
centos-7-minimal email chat work personal
and set crontab to run it every:
0 1 * * * /home/bob/qbackup
but it did not seem to work. I am able to run the script and the
backup will run but when i try to do it via cron then nada?
Checked the syslog? Did you use "crontab -e" to setup the crontab?
The crond seems to be running and crontab -l shows the schedule I
pasted above, Is there a reason this shouldn't work?
Thank you for the response. It actually ended up that cron did not like
executing a script, I just put the exact same line from the script
directly into cron.
Now I just need to understand how to setup things to delete backups
older than X
Cheers
