Rsnapshot monthly doesnt work, any hint appreciated

Hi all,

my Rsnapshot is running quite well on a weekly base, but the monthly is not working. Any hint? Thx a lot!!

If anyone could give me a short hint, that would be great!!! Thx!

Really nowbody out there who knows what to do? Thx!!

sorry, I´m still quite unexperienced, so maybe my question is stupid .... but what do you mean with "UUID of the jobs are in /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/"? In that folder I can not see UUIDs directly.
And what means "remove rsync- from beginning"?

I attached the complete rsnapshot logfile, maybe you can see more then.

Then I checked all UUIDs in my system with blkid - sda1 is the drive with the backup folder

/dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="7D5C-A285" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="000b5098-01"
/dev/mmcblk0p2: LABEL="omv" UUID="5d18be51-3217-4679-9c72-a54e0fc53d6b" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="000b5098-02"
/dev/mmcblk0p3: UUID="fa36508a-b3c4-4499-b30a-711dd5994225" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="000b5098-03"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="OMV_HD1" UUID="cd9a2063-ab1e-403b-8b9c-129c19072080" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="cb776acb-01"
/dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="000b5098" PTTYPE="dos"

My OMV is supposed to do a rsnapshot from three remote directories into the above mentioned backup folder on a local hdd, the system runs on a Raspi II.

The UUIDs of the remote shares are attached in the "Unbenannt.PNG".

AS mentioned the weekly job seems to run well.

Thank you for your support!!

o.k., when I list the content of the folder I just get:

root@raspberrypi:/var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d# ls -a
. .. rsnapshot
root@raspberrypi:/var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d# ls --all

There is inly one file in the folder ...

I tried it, but there is nothing happening, no error, nothing ...

What are those UUIDs anyway, the devices I´m backing up have different UUIDS, the target HD, too ...

I haven´t seen those UUIDS on my system before ...

Yesterday I changed the retention rate of the different jobs from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. After that I started the monthly job manually, now it seems to be working. Let me test it a couple of days, maybe the issue is solved now...

Thanks for your support!!!! Its really great how much time you guys spend to support people using your system!!

Now it seems to work ... BUT, the time stamp of the monthly snapshot is not correct, what does that mean?

The time stamp of the weekly snapshot is equal to the date and time when it is carried out. The time stamp of the monthly snapshot is a couple of weeks older. When I look into the OMV systemprotocolls it shows to me that the monthly snapshot is carried out correctly yesterday, but again the time stamp is three weeks old.

If this is correct, how would I know the correct date of a monthly snapshot when I need it one day?

Thank you for your help in advance!!
