Yesterday, the backup job ran as required and I posted here in the forum about log errors at boot time.
Today however, same errors, but the job didn't run.

Here is a log segment, I have no idea what can I do about it.

Code:

Sep 14 06:54:47 localhost anacron[922]: Job `my-backups' started
Sep 14 06:54:47 localhost anacron[922]: Job `my-backups' terminated (exit status: 11) (mailing output)

Code:

Sep 14 06:54:47 localhost anacron[922]: Job `my-backups' terminated (exit status: 11) (mailing output)

If 11 is a rsync status code it means error in file I/O. Make sure the backup filesystem is not full. I don't remember, is the backup drive an external USB? Does it hibernate?

In my mind, it seems to be related to not being able to send mail... I have no idea how to disable it or how to set mail for it to be able to use it...
My backup goes to an external 3TB hard drive, some 55% of it is free.

This morning, I turned on the machine at 6:45 AM, the job is set to run 10 miutes after that. I was on the machine at the time, watching the task manager, at 6:55AM there was some activity and I thought - it is working, but the end result was negative.

When I executed it manually. at 7:02 it worked just fine (yes, the files at the source had an update and there was a new folder in the source)

So, what else can I try?

Thanks again
Alex
