Hi Everyone, I'm performing a post-mortem on our [failed] disaster recovery procedures.
We have an OpenVZ-based CentOS 7 VM. We use it for an open source project website and wiki. Our backup job in /etc/cron.daily has not been executing (nor has other cron jobs, like yum-daily.cron). We cannot find mention of the failures in dmesg or other logs in /var/log. It looks like things broke sometime around December 2017 based on the date of our last backup. (It is embarrassing, but like I said there were no logged failures so I did not know to investigate). I don't keep change control logs, but the best I can tell our last two major configuration changes were: * Migrate OpenVZ 7.1 -> 7.2, June 2016 * Enable CentOS SCL, December 2017 The SCL is Software Collections,https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL . We needed it because of the ancient versions of Apache, Python and PHP provided with CentOS 7. My question is, is there a bad interaction or adverse relationship with OpenVZ, SCL repos and cron?
