Just stumbled over this in karmic ... my backups weren't running: (the string to look for is tsm)

root@graeme-laptop:/etc/cron.daily# run-parts --test --report /etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.daily/apport

/etc/cron.daily/standard
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd

root@graeme-laptop:/etc/cron.daily# ls *.suffix
tsm-backup.suffix

root@graeme-laptop:/etc/cron.daily# mv tsm-backup.suffix tsm-backup
root@graeme-laptop:/etc/cron.daily# run-parts --test --report /etc/cron.daily
