Yes when I've change the script to: ========== cd $backupdest tar -C $backupdest \ -czf $backupdest/$curlfile $DATENAME-* > /dev/null 2>&1 ========== The script worked correctly. It look like the last $DATENAME-* don't work with the tar command on this way. $ touch /tmp/testfile.txt $ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile* tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors While it will work when I use the next command $ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile.txt There are more backup files not correct: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 Apr 7 06:35 201404070635-squirrelmail-plugins.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 Apr 7 06:35 201404070635-squirrelmail-prefs.tar.bz2 These to are empty tar files.
