Summary
User is asking for help on creating a cron backup on Ubuntu Linux. They mention that Linux by default sends an email when a cron job is completed, and asks about postfix. Another user suggests using grep to search in the logs, specifically "/var/log/syslog". The user mentions that they have not seen anything in the logs and that no backup folder has been created after waiting for two days. They also mention that the cron job works fine when manually run. There is no solution provided in the thread.
