Scheduled Backups not running

[krobertson71]

Yes I agree. Point I was trying to make is that the message is a little misleading when testing permissions.

We were trying to find a way for nagios to be able run backups and have netdev as the group which contains a service account used for our enterprise backup system.

Linux guys said they can work around it.

I would suggest changing the wording on the test, or add some info to the page specifying both apache and nagios need permissions to create backups as the message deliverd states to make sure that the Nagios user OR the nagios group has permissions to write.

Just having Nagios be the owner does not work.

Thanks for the clarification.

Changed to nagios:nagcmd. Scheduled Backups are still not writing anything to the /backups/ directory.

Are you sure? It says right on the page "last backup size was 141.43MB"

[krobertson71]

Yeah....... I am sure

That 141mb you see is when I did the Local Backup "Create Now' which put it in /store/backup

The scheduled backups are not working.

Can anyone help with this?

And before anyone asks... Yes the Nagios user can write to the directory.

In XI, go to Admin > System Backups > Local Backup Archives
Do you see the backups there?
Can you provide a screen shot of that?

[krobertson71]

Here it is. Only shows the autoupgrade backup from the last upgrade.

Could you run these commands and post back the results?

Code: Select all

df -h
df -i
ll /backups

Here you go:

For a test, could you change the permissions on the backups folder and schedule a backup to happen just after you do that to see if it works?

Run these commands.

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /backups
chmod ug+wrx /backups

After this, try the backup.

No Go... no errros, time passes and it just reschedules for the next day.

Still only showing the backup that was done during the last upgrade.
