Hi Richard,
Not sure to have a real help for you.
In fact, i've created a little shell script that i use to launch my Moodle Cron, and log it's execution in file, including date and time.
I think you could try to use something like (need to adapt the paths) :
/usr/bin/php -d log_errors=1 -d error_reporting=E_ALL \
-d display_errors=0 -d html_errors=0 \
-d memory_limit=1024M -d max_execution_time=36000 \
/var/www/html/admin/cli/cron.php > /home/moodle/log/backups/cron.`date +%Y-%m-%d.%Hh%M`.txtYou'll then be able to see the output of backup operations, to see what hangs and what is Ok...HTH,
Séverin
