Server Backup - "Daily Backup is up to date" issue

[zigzam]

I have cpanel backup to run daily and I have everyday selected, but I always get this message:

Daily Backup is up to date



How can I fix this?


I even tried running /scripts/cpbackup from shell and got the same thing.

Thanks

Check to see if you may have two entries in crontab.

Also, actually look and see if your files were backed up for that day.
You will get that message backups were run more than once in
a 24 hr period.

you can also use
/scripts/cpbackup --force

to force a backup if needed

The time stamps on your last backups have the same date as when your trying to backup I beleive

Yup, that's why. You can either wait for the next day or touch the backup daily dir and set the time back, e.g.:

touch -d "00:00 /backup/cpbackup/daily

Its remote ftp backup and it hasn't run since saturday.

It would have helped to know that

IIRC, you can simply remove /home/cpbackuptmp:

rm -Rfv /home/cpbackuptmp

Thanks that did the trick.
