If "tomorrow" is the second, then "today" must be the first, and we
can specify this directly in the crontab file, though running cron
jobs at 2am is probably not a very good idea in North America.
Hello all,
(Sorry for my late answer and gratitude)
Many thanks for your help.
I was just wondering if it could be possible to start a full backup
using a cron job for just a one shot and let backuppc do the
following backups according to its config in config.pl?
The aim is to begin backups with starting a full on Sunday and let
backuppc by itself do the others.
You can, but normally one would start by itself before then if you
have a normal schedule set up. If you want to defer runs, you can go
to the host's screen in the web interface and use the 'stop backup'
link even if one isn't currently running.
Ok, I saw that: Stop/Dequeue Backup (I suppose)
There is an option there to defer backup runs for a specified time.
I didn't see that :-/
I usually try to start the first one on Friday evening so there is
less time for anything to go wrong before getting a backup copy and
more time for the fulls to complete, but perhaps your schedule is
different.
Great idea, I'll do that.
Thanks,
Hervé
