Backup creation fails with an error «Backup for date and hour not scheduled»
Symptoms
Although the backup schedule is configured and the corresponding task in the CRON scheduler is created, copies fail to be created automatically.
Also, a warning of the following type is registered in the backup log at /usr/local/mgr5/var/backup2.log
:
May 15 08:00:00 [3838252:1] backup2 WARNING Backup for date 2025-05-15 and hour 8 not scheduled
Causes
The backup task in the CRON scheduler does not work correctly.
Solution
Make sure a task named «Ispmanager backup task» is present in the CRON scheduler section and is active.
Also make sure the task command is specified correctly in the scheduler:
/usr/local/mgr5/sbin/cron-ispmgr sbin/backup2 --mode schedule >/dev/null 2>&1
If necessary, edit the command into the standard form, then restart the CRON scheduler service in the Services - All services section.
After restarting the service, check that new backups are created according to the schedule.
