scheduled bacup does not occur
I know I am doing something stupid but...its been about a year and I am at my wifes 24 inch IMAC running 10.4.11 and I am unable to get the schedule backup to work, still...I am were I was a year ago, I have upgraded SD, bought a new license, deleted all previous SD related files, reinstalled, reregistered, I can schedule the backup to on minute from now and wait and watch and it does not happen. It is a Lacie firewire drive for which a backup on command works just fine and creates a good bootable copy. To add insult to the situation my daughters identical computer, including OS version etc., 10 ft away from this one, does backup on schedule perfectly and has so for over a year and I have set them both up in the same way. I tried swapping the drive out last year with another LACIE but it made no difference.
Any suggestions? |

What are the names of the drives involved?

Names
the boot drive name on the desk top is "Betelgeuse" and the back up is from Betelgeuse to a drive whose name on the desk top is simply "Backup". In what way would the drive names be involved?

There are cases where unusual characters can cause problems due to UTF encoding differences, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I think it's likely your "cron" daemon -- the system scheduler -- isn't running...

Thank you for the suggestion. I just returned again to this problem after being out on a long business trip. I'll begin investigating "cron" daemon otherwise known as the system scheduler.

In the activity monitor cron is running.
I am not that savy to know if that means its running properly. Is there some way to rech out and give it a jolt or two? |
