When a backup is configured on the master node of an appliance cluster, the configuration of the backup (/etc/cma/backup.conf) is synchronized from the master to the slave site. The second thing that should also be synchronized is the configuration of the job execution (/etc/cron.d/mkbackup). This file was only stored on the master node and not updated on the slave. This made the backup only be executed on the master node.
The intention is to make the backup job on the active node backup the active nodes system configuration together with the sites (when enabled in the job) The job on the slave node should backup only the slave nodes system config.
After installing the new firmware version you need to open and save a backup job of your choice to initiate the master which initiates the slave synchronization to solve this situation.
Workaround: You could copy the file /etc/cron.d/mkbackup by hand to make the job also be executed on the slave host.
