VBSF backup fails across all our deployments

[sumeet]

Hello,

All old cases# 08073203, 07676393 and another older case too, but not able to find the number.

Backups fails with this error - Cannot run program "/usr/bin/java" (in directory "/var/log/vbsf/vbsf-backup/2026-07-24_10-00-00_vbsf_backup_428_6131_bizcover-backup-policy-daily_metadata"): error=2, No such file or directory

Strangely, happens across all our VBSF deployments - which are different RHEL versions, different VBSF versions, different VMs, different networks, different storage volumes/datastores, rebooted at different times (as last week I upgraded few setups to v3.2 on different days)

The only way to resolve this is to either restart vbsf service or ofcourse reboot the server.

Happend on the night of 24th April 2026 and then 24th July 2026. Has happend last year several times.
I have checked no cron jobs or anything that updates java.

Has anyone else observed this issue in their environment?

No, I haven't seen this in our environment. We've been running VBSF across multiple deployments without `/usr/bin/java` disappearing, so this doesn't seem to be a common issue from my experience. FNF

Thanks Tom for your confirmation.
Strange that this happens in our environment. Very strange that it happens on the very same day across different servers.
We have checked that this path and file exists /usr/bin/java
Restarting VBSF backend service fixes this.
Is your deployments on RHEL too? And do you use native LVM?
