cpbackup vs. upcp?

good question,
I see both now in the root cron.

Also still see cpbackup in the upcp file?

Necessary?

 

It won't back up twice in one day anyway.

This part of the backup script:

Code:

		if (isolderthen(.5,"${basedir}/daily")) {
			backupaccts("${basedir}/daily");
		} else {
			print "Daily Backup is up to date\n";
		}

makes it so backup will only run if it's been more than 12 hours since the last time.

 

yep, just thought is strange since their is a cron entry to run it seperately they left it in the upcp.

 

My guess is it's still in the upcp for a while to make sure everyone is updated to the new setup before they remove it from there.

 

Yesterday I needed to restore one account data and tonight I received message "Daily Backup is up to date". I have backup set to run every second day and now it is more than 48 hours from last daily backup so I don't know why this messages appeared.

Or , restoring of this account started daily backup process ?

 

The restore probably changed the date of the backup file which is what the script goes by in determining the last backup time. That may be a bug in how it works.
