Electric Eel - TrueCloud Backup Tasks issue

I just migrated my small homelab from CORE to SCALE with no major issues. Given I have no critical systems in play, I elected to use the Electric Eel release train with hopes of testing the new TrueCloud backups with an ixStorj account.

I have configured a TrueCloud (Storj) account with a backup task setup to push backups to their cloud. That is confirmed working on two different backup tasks and I can see my backup buckets in Storj. On TrueNAS SCALE, the backups run fine when I initiate them manually but they won’t run on any type of automated schedule. I have configured the jobs using the built-in “every day” setting and also setup a custom schedule to do the same but neither seem to make the job kick off. Trying to figure if I am missing an obvious setting or if there is something I need to report for EE. I was going to file a bug report but thought I would take a quick pulse check to see if there were any others having this same issue. Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated.


Scheduling is a known issue on BETA.1 see NAS-130320 a fix has gone into the nightly build if you are in a position to take that, any build post 15-August. Fix will be in RC.1 (Issue navigator - iXsystems TrueNAS Jira)
This is included in the BETA.1 Known Issues in the release notes

Acknowledged and thank you. Sorry for missing the documented issue… was right under my nose :slight_smile:

Keep up the good work. You folks are doing great.

As Sir Humphrey would say, using Electric Eel in production is very … um … courageous of you.
