Create Backup under Local Backup Archives

[awilson]

Hi. I selected "Create Backup" under the Local Backup Archives menu item. The system responded that a backup was scheduled.

Does that option launch the backup script immediately or is it postponed to a later time?

Thanks

It starts right away, but those can take some time to complete

We are running 5.4.4. Is the script backup_xi.sh?

Thanks.

Yes.

I don't see that the script is launched. Does the "Create Backup" option only launch if local backups are enabled?

If you run the following then click the button you should be able tto see it kick off

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log
