If I run manually the backup from the shell it run ok, but if it run's from the Crontab, it doesn't make the backup. thanks bye --ed This is the script content # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="root" export USERNAME ENV PATH for j in `ls /var/mnt/System/User | grep -v backup.exe | grep -v backup | grep -v evega | grep -v backup` do RESP_TOC=/var/mnt/System/User/backup/"$j"_`date '+%d%m%Y_%H%C'`.toc RESP_TAR=/var/mnt/System/User/backup/"$j"_`date '+%d%m%Y_%H%C'`.tar echo `date` > $RESP_TOC echo "Backing up "$j >> $RESP_TOC echo "/p" >> $RESP_TOC ls -lah -R /var/mnt/System/User/$j >> $RESP_TOC tar cf $RESP_TAR $j done
