[Gllug] Running TAR backup through Root's Cron

[Steven Bellamy]

Hi,

I'm having a problem running a backup through Cron.
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.
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.
I have looked through the cron logs and syslogs but can't find any error
messages.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
