System Backup path to SMS has changed

TheMMMaroko — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 17:45:06 GMT

Hi guys.

I've recently noticed that our scheduled backups from gateways to management server are located in a different path - a bit of a raised eyebrow for a sec - since we upgraded from 80.30 to 81.10.

It used to be stored as local ones in /var/log/CPbackups/backups, however, now it is flat out in system user's home directory.

Is this expected and intended behaviour? I haven't found any mention of it or a possibility to change. I'm thinking about creating a symlink, as a workaround, for sake of consistency.

Thanks a lot.

I never noticed that issue in my labds or customers' environment, its always in /var/log/CPbackup/backups dir.

I would open TAC case to investigate this.

It may happen if your scheduling script has an explicit path mentioned.

How did you schedule it? Via Gaia WebUI/CLISH or manually through cron?

I wasn't the one to set it up, but I suspect it was via WebUI - the clish's show cron jobs returns nothing.

Crontab lists appropriate configuration to run /bin/scheduled_backup backupName
