I have been a Backblaze B2 user via TrueNAS for many years, but recenlty I have noticed it is no longer running automated backup tasks. The only thing I have changed that I can recall is I added some encrypted datasets and did add them as part of my cloud sync tasks. I understand while these datasets are locked, they can’t be backed up, thats totally fine and logical - I manually run these backup tasks and have them disabled with the thought that them being diabled wouldn’t interfeer with my non-encrypted datasets.
As seen here, I have a dataset that should be doing a backup weekly, but it hasn’t ran in a month…
Hover over the Success button and click Show Logs, then Download LLogs. Does the log show results from last month or when it should have run last week? Anything of interest in the log?
Nothing useful, I just see logs of the initation and successful finish of the backup on 7/20/26 which is the last time it ran. Nothing beyond that. Its like the cronjob just isn’t even running?
If you want to verify that the cronjob is actually scheduled, from System - Shell, enter cat /etc/cron.d/middlewared and find the entry that has ‘midclt call cloudsync.sync’ in it. Your timing selection should be right in the first five fields.
Have you rebooted? A reboot should stop and then restart the middleware.
