Sounds like the script is not located where you think it is - i.e. the
same directory as you are running "backup1.sh" from...<br>
<br>
Just a stab in the dark anyway. It sounds like I'm stating the
obvious, so if there is nothing new in my answer, I'll leave it to the

<br>
I'm still fairly new to bash scripting and must admit, I haven't tried
a script from within a script yet...<br>
