<TITLE>Running TAR backup through Root's Cron</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm having a problem running a backup through Cron.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I've created a very simple backup script (using TAR and Crontab for the user Root) to run backups at 01h00 everyday to backup a Squid Proxy Server in a remote office.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The problem is that the backup only seems to backup about 140MB of data and then stops, if I run the same script from the shell (as root), it backs up the entire server.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have looked through the cron logs and syslogs but can't find any error messages.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyone have any suggestions?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks</FONT>
