tar in cronjob does not work 100%

jeep88 · 02-19-2009, 05:01 AM

the following line doesnt work as a cronjob;

Code:

tar -C /var/www/dokuwiki -c -v -j -f /storage/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-backup-`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2 conf data lib

The tar will be created but not all files/folders are in it.
what am i doing wrong?:

this is in my crontab -e;

Code:

MAILTO=""
# m h  dom mon dow   command
55 11 * * * /bin/bash /storage/dokuwiki/scripts/backup

what are the files missing ?
Are the files which you are reporting as missing are under /var/www/dokuwiki ?
