Yes. Missing in that as far as the expected daily snapshot direct doesn't appear when I go looking for it. dirvish-runall won't remove them, so it's either dirvish-expire or the missing directory was never created. I set expire-default +60 and have no special expire rules set anywhere, though. > dirvish-cron is >> running every night at the Debian default 10:04 p.m. (Verified in syslog.) >> Most hosts are on the local LAN, so it shouldn't be a connectivity issue. >> (Even then I'd have a dated directory with a log... not this time.) >> >> Any thoughts on what to look for? > > I've never seen anything like that either.

I moved over my configuration files and the snapshots. Why it would be different now is a mystery. > Have you tried running the missing snapshots manually to see what happens? Not yet.

Yeah, kind of operating in the dark here. Sigh. The original server was running backups at 3 a.m. I might just switch back the time first and go from there...
