Hello everyone, I apologize for going silent for so long. I haven't had a chance to respond and since the issue is closed, I would like to re-open this issue since I am still having this issue of implementing the auto back up. Here is a link to the original issue: #1721 Per the feedback, I have checked the following locations and noted their outputs below: /etc/crontab

Can you explain your problem and what you try to achive please. It is not clear to me. Your crontab is empty. Why do you expect that there should be an entry? |
Sure so this is a snippet from my profile. As you can see, I am attempting to setup daily backups at 1 AM in the morning
And the cron tab is not updated to implement this. Is there some other command I need to run from CLI that will generate it? |
You edited this config file directly via nano? This is not supported and you do this on your own risk. I assume somethings in your edit is not valid so BIT is not able to create a crontab entry for that profile. I suggest to install BIT with GUI on a virtual machine, create a similar profile and then compare the config files. You could also check the debug output Usually BIT re-crates the crontab entries on every start for all existing profiles. no need for an extra step. |
