Backups not running on schedule but work from shell

From shell the below command works to create a backup then sends backup email and shows in the console. All scheduled backups are failing, /var/log/hestia/backup.log shows nothing is being written to them when scheduled backups are set. only when the shell command is run does anything write to logs.

sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-user admin yes >> /usr/local/hestia/log/backup.log 2>&1

I cannot see where backups are scheduled by Hestia.

Cron seems to be running other jobs in syslog, my next step is to manually add a cron job.

Thanks and love the Hestia project its just what Vesta needed. :smiley:

When you run:
crontab -u admin -e

You should see some where:

10 05 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-users

This will backup the users …

only this…

13 3 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-update-letsencrypt-ssl

I’ve added this to the cron job using web console now i can see this…

13 3 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-update-letsencrypt-ssl
0 1 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-users

I’ve give that a try and see where we go thanks for the speedy reply, odd that it was missing.
