    I have three servers, all of which are configured to back up to a CIFS share. On two of the servers, cpbackup bails out with "touch: cannot touch `/nas-backup/(hostname)/cpbackup/daily': No such file or directory", where /nas-backup is the mount point for the CIFS share (which is always mounted) and the backup destination in WHM is /nas-backup/(hostname).

    All three servers are configured identically (as far as I can see), and cpbackup works when I run it manually. Any ideas?

    Through which user is this cron/cpbackup run/configured? It has to be root to be more specific to perform such tasks..

    Perm. mount --

    check your conifgure under backup configurations and see if they match server by server

    It's in root's crontab on all three servers.

    After diffing /etc/cpbackup.conf, the only difference between servers is the hostname in the backup destination.

    At the moment I'm thinking that the CIFS connection might be timing out on two of the servers -- I assumed that the network would be able to handle all three running at once, but maybe not. I'll reschedule them and see what happens.
