What, exactly, is "the ssh backup in com"?
Some (invisible) shell script?

uname -a

Some program (GNU "tar"?) would like to ask
you a question and get an answer, but if you
run this thing as a non-interactive job (as a
"cron" job, for example), then you would have
no terminal where the question-and-answer
session can happen.

Hi,
Can you post the script here.

while running any script from corn you need to give full absulate path for each command.

It would help if you attached sshbackup so we can see the comments and match the debug output to the source.

I don't see your initial error messages.
It would help if you put "sh -x /soft/backup/bin/sshbackup: in your crontab, or simply add "-x" on your "#!/usr/bin/sh" line.

>This is the scrip we are running in corm

It appears you are getting all the way down to $SSH and then it is hanging/waiting.
echo "$HOSTNAME $BACKUPTYPE ($COUNT files) backup-${BACKUPTYPE}-${DIRB}" | $SSH -l root -o "hostname=${BACKUP_SRV}" -q -i /soft/backup/etc/backup-server-ssh-key-log
