rogue backup

Submitted by AllanIT on Sun, 08/31/2014 - 23:28

Hi I have never been able to solve this issue. I think I explained it quite well on this tread but if you need more info please ask.

I also followed Eric's suggestion and removed the backup file name from the config file under /etc/webmin but every few days I get the warning email. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks Allanit

Check out the config files under /etc/webmin/webmincron/crons - one of them will contain the database name, and can be deleted. After that, you can run /etc/webmin/restart

Wait .. sorry, I am wrong. You will need to find and remove the backup cron job at Webmin -> System -> Scheduled Cron Jobs.

Anyway, the next release of Webmin will clean these up properly.

Hi Jamie. Thanks for the response. I waited until after the new release of Webmin which was 1.690. I'm assuming that is the release you were referring to but I have still been getting the emails. I assume what your code did not work, Just thought you would like to know.

So I followed your instructions to go to Webmin -> System -> Scheduled and manually removed the Cron Job for the already deleted database. Hopefully that will fix it. I will let you know.

Thanks Allan

Actually I was referring to Webmin 1.710. Until then, cleaning up using the cron module is the right solution.
