[Koha] Hourly backup

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Raphael,

you could try running the command manually to see if there are any
errors first and try to see if that gives you a clue.

Also, this doesn't look like you are using the standard tools to backup
Koha that are part of the packages. You can see the standard setup in
the last line here:

https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/debian/koha-common.cron.daily#L30

Some more information can be found here:

Hope this helps,

Katrin
