Hi!
Following up on a old question of mine about daily backup tools I did
follow the advice and am using borg successfully. So thank you for that:
very easy to setup and works great.
However wanting to do that daily automatically from my laptop to a local
network drive I looked for a way to start the backup like 10 minutes
after I switched on the PC and only once a day which led me to anacron.
Installed it, set up the anacron job and the problems arrived. Initially
tried to run it as my user but that didn't work.
@daily 10 daily-backup su fred -c "/home/fred/dao2/tech/daily.sh"
Simplified the command to run as root but that also didn't work. It
seems anacron doesn't run.
@daily 10 daily-backup /home/fred/dao2/tech/daily.sh
Finally found one or two post saying you can add a cron job that runs
hourly and launch the anacron tasks.
I have this in my user crontab:
@hourly /usr/sbin/anacron -s -t $HOME/.anacron/etc/anacrontab -S
$HOME/.anacron/spool
This unfortunately get the task run randomly and definitely not once per
day. I sometimes get it to run 3 or 4 times in the same day while
sometimes I feel it's does not run and so I run it manually.
So my question is how do I get anacron "fixed" and running once daily?
Thank you.
Fred
