I'm seeing a very odd intermitent problem with backing up one particular machine
from cron.. the message I get in the BackupPC log is:
2004-07-27 02:00:01 User backuppc requested backup of theserver, but one is
currently running
My cron job is scheduled as follows:
0 2 * * 0-5 /usr/local/backuppc/scripts/backupServer theserver 0 > /dev/null
2>&1
0 2 * * 6 /usr/local/backuppc/scripts/backupServer theserver 1 > /dev/null 2>&1
My backupServer script is nothing but this single line:
backuppc < at > backuppc:~/scripts$ cat backupServer
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup $1 $1 backuppc $2
$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;
And of course, in TOPDIR/data/pc/theserver/config.pl, I have:
I have found that if I rm TOPDIR/data/pc/theserver/LOCK, the next time the cron
job is executed, the backup runs fine.
Any ideas on what I should look at to solve this?
