Hi, yes this is expected (by our design) to happen at 11:00 AM.
11:00 AM GMT is 13:00 on our timezone. 13:00 is the first setting we have on puprose in our wakeup schedule if you see.
This is in purpose in order for nightly only to be run only at 11:00 AM GMT.
Our backup wakeup is after midnight (in our timezones). The wakeup in the day is only for nightly to run.

The problem is that on all other wakeups. Because server is not considered at all to be backed up.

See:
Last backup 06:12 GMT => check on 11:00 GMT nothing to do (correct) => next wakeup on 22:15 GMT (00:15 our timezone) never checks this server at all.

Several wakeups have happened the last hours, but inside status.pl the "startTime" is still from yesterday.
Exactly like server is not checked at all on several wakeups.

This happes only for some servers.


Thank you.

Hi,
on this particular case, the check is at 11:00am, the last good backup was at 6:12am, and according to the config incrementals should be done only if at least 0.54 ~ 13 hours have passed, so the server does nothing on that machine.

Guillermo

    Hi,

    A backuppc server backs up about 85 hosts to backup.
    Everyday about 10 hosts are not backed up. They are like ignored.
    Those hosts seems like they are not checked for backup at all
    (during several wakeups).

    Long time user of backuppc, for years, I cannot find out the reason.

    My first wakeup is at 13.00 (to run the "nightly" jobs) and then I
    have several wakeups after midnight.
    All our pings are always successful (replaced ping with /bin/echo).

    The hosts that are ignored mention that they have been last
    checked at 13.00 (no backup to be done at 13:00 since 13:00 is
    only for nightly runs), but then they seem completely ignored at
    several wakeups after midnight (where backup should be made).

    Here is an example from status.pl <http://status.pl> on an ignored
    host:
    (now it is GMT: Wednesday, January 25, 2023 8:58:48 AM)

      "samplehost1" => {
        "startTime" => 1674558002, # GMT: Tuesday, January 24, 2023
    11:00:02 AM
        "activeJob" => 0,
        "aliveCnt" => 32,
        "state" => "Status_idle",
        "userReq" => undef,
        "reason" => "Reason_nothing_to_do",
        "deadCnt" => 0,
        "type" => "incr",
        "endTime" => "",
        "lastGoodBackupTime" => 1674540749 #GMT: Tuesday, January 24,
    2023 6:12:29 AM
      },


    Those ignored hosts are also not mentioned at all in the LOG file.

    Not the same hosts are ignored every day.
