[PVE-User] Backup job does not run...

[Marco Gaiarin]

In a PVE7 single server (on a hosted phisical server) i've setup some backup
job, finding today that was not run.

I've started by hand and seems works as expected.


There's some service i could try to restart or something like that?

Thanks.

Hi Marco, as far as I know (I use still PVE6) the backup schedule 
information are written in /etc/cron.d/vzdump file and are executed by 
cron; try to restart cron.service and take a look to /var/log/syslog to 
find if there are problems on cron.

pvescheduler . please also ensure you've installed all the latest upgrades for 7.x, there was an issue where pvescheduler interacted badly with a stock Debian perl package that got resolved in the meantime.

On PVE7 /etc/cron.d/vzdump is empty:

 root@artemis:~# cat /etc/cron.d/vzdump 
 # cluster wide vzdump cron schedule
 # Atomatically generated file - do not edit
 
 PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

and seems there's a 'pvescheduler' daemon...

Effectively pvescheduler was in a bad state:

 root@artemis:~# ps aux | grep pvesche
 root        6114  0.0  0.3 336356 121444 ?       Ss   gen15   9:09 pvescheduler
 root     2543127  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    mar25   0:00 [pvescheduler] <defunct>
 root     2551569  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    mar25   0:00 [pvescheduler] <defunct>
 root     3956737  0.0  0.0   6256   624 pts/0    S+   13:11   0:00 grep pvesche

restarted, and now seems work as expected... Thanks!
