Can't set backup task run time

[RandomTrooper]

Just started using Veeam Agent for Linux on Debian Bookworm, but I cannot change the schedule time for this to run. When I tab through the task settings I get this seemingly uneditable field …


So I figured there must a way to change this in CLI … so I ran `veeamconfig job info --id ` and saw this …

Code: Select all

Schedule:
   Every day
   At: 00:30

But I don't want “00:30”

I tried `veeamconfig job edit` but only found options to edit volumeLevel and fileLevel backups … and I'm on “Entire machine”.

Why is this happening, and how can I change the schedule time? Thank you!

Hello,

Here is example from veeamconfig ui, which I just ran:
As you can see I can go Daily at and change hours:minutes and uncheck days of the week.
Please make sure that your shell terminal works fine.

Here is what I see:


I can manipulate the checkboxes, but cannot change the time. I recreated the task under a different task name, and had the same outcome, same time. If it matters, I am doing this via SSH.

Where is the backup time stored?

Hello,

What time are you trying to set?
Simply navigate to the Hour and Minutes sections using the tabs and enter the numbers.
For example, if you want to set the time to 4:00 AM, you would need to type 0 (zero), 4 (four), 0 (zero), 0 (zero).

I understand that. No matter what I type there is no activity in that field. Numbers, delete key, backspace all have no effect.

Is there a editable configuration file that contains this value that I may edit from the command line? Thank you.

Hello @RandomTrooper

You can try using the following command to modify the time of an existing backup job:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig schedule set --at 02:00 --jobName BackupJob1 --daily

In your initial screenshot, it appears that the backup job runs daily, hence the use of the "--daily" option.

If you need further assistance in adjusting the backup job, please refer to the help page of the command:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig schedule set --help
