Nothing in Manage Backup

[DA SILVA S]

Hi

Im using LB on my ubuntu to save an sql database on my Synology NAS... Everything works fine. But, when i schedule a backup nothing appear in Manage Backup despite the backup works fine whereas i use a manual backup i have my snapshot in Manage Backup...
This is the same with LB Super-User.

Could you help me ? Do you have an idea ?

Thanks

Hi Da Silva,

If I understood correctly, the backups run as scheduled (data is transferred) but there is no reference of them at the manage backup dialogue (list on the left) :
http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/manual.html#manageMain

this should not normally happen.

Are you using "console mode" for your schedules ?
Also, there should be a logfile that keeps info about the cronjob itself:
http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/manual.html#cronItLogFile
Could you let me know of it's contents ?

Hi

This is the same in console mode.

The cronjob logs :

thank you for the feedback Da silva

There are 2 possibilities here:
1. Neither a logfile nor a reference at the manage backup dialog are created
2. Only references at the manage backup dialog are missing. logfiles are created normally

Please have a look at directory
/home/variation/.luckyBackup/logs/
after a cronjob is supposed to have finished
Is there a default-Photos-201505DDhhmmss.log file available ?
Where DDhhmmss is "day of month" eg 11 and hhmmss is the time in hours-minutes-seconds that the job run.

Could you also confirm that LB is NOT running when the scheduled job starts.
The manage backup references are eventually part of the relevant .profile file (under directory ~/.luckyBackup/profiles/) and there could be a conflict when 2 (or more) instances of LB run at the same time.

(irrelevant)
PS You may disable the email function (check the never box) if you don't need it to avoid relevant error messages:
http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/manual.html#email

[DA SILVA S]

It works !!
LB must be close during a scheduled backup.

Thank a lot
