Hello, can anyone understand and tell how anacron work with BIT (on Debian 11)? I can not find something in /etc/cron.* . There is a something in ~/.localshare/backintime/anacron/... But this looks like timestamp files and not anacron jobs. Kind Christian
Hello Christian, BiT uses crontab to store its scheduled tasks. Take a look with “crontab -l”. Can’t remember where the actual files are stored from the top of my head now, sorry. Cheers, Hakan Sent from my iPhone

BiT doesn't use anacron. I think it did at some point in the past, but now it just emulates the way that anacron works. In this mode, BiT puts itself into the regular crontab and calls itself with "backintime backup-job". Then, internally, it checks when it was last run, and whether it should rund again. Depending on the settings, it will then take a snapshot, or just exit. In the second case, it syslogs: "INFO: Profile "Main profile" is not scheduled to run now." The naming of "anacron mode" is unfortunate, because it raises this confusion. Cheers, Michael On 15.06.2023 09:42, c.buhtz@posteo.jp wrote:
