MySql scheduled backup does not work

Webmin

Hello all!
I scheduled a backup of all Mysql databases ; I can successfully execute the BackupNow command, but the scheduled task fail.

If executed manually through Scheduled Cron Jobs panel, the result is:

Output from command /etc/webmin/mysql/backup.pl --all ..
No output generated

The same command issued as root user when ssh connected works well.
So I assume that the script works fine and the issue is only on the scheduled cron job.
How can I fix ?

Thanks

@olidario,

What error are you seeing when doing a “Scheduled Backup”?

Hello Peter, in order to force the scheduled backup to work, I deleted the job and I created again the same job but with some parameters difference.

I changed the scheduling time and occurrences numbers; after this operations, the backup executed without errors.

I don’t know what was the error before… but now it works as expected.

If I want to investigate the past errors, how can I effectively search using webmin tools?

Thanks.
