You're one day off on your backup line. It should be: 5 2 * * 2-6 su amanda -c /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amdump DailySet1 As an aside, I usually put these commands in amanda's crontab with 'sudo -u amanda crontab -e', so then it'd be: 5 2 * * 2-6 /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amdump DailySet1 > # Backup monthly full dumps for archives on the 2nd day of each > and every month of the year at 6.30am. > > 30 6 2 1-12 * su amanda -c /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amdump > MonthlySet1 > > # Backup check running amcheck at 4.30pm on the 2nd day of each and > every month. > 30 16 2 1-12 * su amanda -c /local/sw/amanda/bckup/sbin/amcheck > MonthlySet1 Again -- you're running your amcheck *after* the amdump... -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
