Backup does not start

[nyala]

Hello,
I am having problems in running the Backup.

Zentyal is fully updated
Backup configuration is "File System" and destination directory is an external drive mounted on /media/DriveB
Backup scheduled to start on every day at 10 PM
It never starts, neither there's any trace of it in the logs.

Any help on how to debug that issue ?

Hi, could you give us more information?

First of all, version of the backup module (apt-cache policy ebox-ebackup).

What's your exact configuration? I mean, full frecquency, incremental frecquency... I suppose you have an incremental backup everyday at 10PM, but what about the full one?

Is the module enabled on Module Status?

Could you also show us the output of this?

cat /etc/cron.d/ebox-ebackup

Thanks!

Hi.
As for testing, I just set a full backup everyday at 10 PM...
Backup module is enabled.

That's the result of given commands:

apt-cache policy ebox-ebackup
ebox-ebackup:
  Installato: 2.0.6
  Candidato: 2.0.6
  Tabella versione:
 *** 2.0.6 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/zentyal/2.0/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

cat /etc/cron.d/ebox-ebackup
0 22 * * * root /usr/share/ebox-ebackup/ebox-remote-ebackup --full

Thanks for help.

That seems correct. Is the Backup module enabled on "Module Status"?

You can try to execute the following command manually:

/usr/share/ebox-ebackup/ebox-remote-ebackup --full

To see if any error appears (check the output in the console and also check /var/log/ebox/ebox.log).

If the above command runs well, you can check the cron messages on /var/log/syslog to see if there is any additional information there.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's the command output

sudo /usr/share/ebox-ebackup/ebox-remote-ebackup --full
root command /usr/share//ebox-ebackup/ebox-duplicity-wrapper remove-all-but-n-full 10 --force file:///media/FreeAgent Drive --no-encryption failed.
Error output: Command line error: Expected 1 args, got 2
 Enter 'duplicity --help' for help screen.

Command output: .
Exit value: 2

and that's the record ebox.log

I have no solution....

I see that the backup module has been updated, so I run again the commands, but unfortunately the problem persists.

apt-cache policy ebox-ebackup
