Hi :) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It seems I don't understand something about cron(tab). Can someone help |
| 4 |
me pls: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I want to run flexbackup with the following backup plan: |
| 7 |
* monthly full |
| 8 |
* weekly diff |
| 9 |
* daily incr |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
So I have installed sys-process/vixie-cron-4.1-r12 (and virtual/cron-0 |
| 12 |
and sys-process/cronbase-0.3.3). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
My crontab (created with "crontab -e") contains: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
00 03 2-31 * 1-6 /usr/bin/flexbackup -set root -level incremental |
| 17 |
00 03 2-31 * 0 /usr/bin/flexbackup -set root -level differential |
| 18 |
00 03 1 * * /usr/bin/flexbackup -set root -level full |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The problem I'm facing is, that incr and diff are executed each day |
| 21 |
_both_ at the same time (which flexbackup luckily handles well). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
From my understanding the 2nd line (diff) should only be run on sundays, |
| 24 |
and the 1st line (inc) should not run sundays. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Can someone please explain me what I'm doing wrong? |
| 28 |

Thank you, |
