Hello Expert,
I have one parisc server with OS as HP-UX 11.11. I am trying to take ignite backup but getting error and backup failing because of that.
ERROR: "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archive_cfg, line 387: syntax error
384 impacts = "/.netscape/cache" 40Kb
385 impacts = "/.netscape/xover-cache/host-news" 8Kb
386 impacts = "/.java" 8Kb
387 impacts = "/.java/.userPerfs/!' :bw"t!#4!a!"w!#4!bw"2" 8Kb
388 impacts = "/backup" 40Kb
389 impacts = "/backup/.dat" 8Kb
When I check the following error directory it has as follows:
1. /.netscape
drwx------ 5 root sys 8192 Mar 26 2006 .netscape
2. /.java
drwx------ 3 root users 8192 Dec 9 2010 .userPrefs
3. cd /backup

drwxr-xr-x 5 root sys 96 Sep 17 2003 .sw
I checked with my Database and application team they all are saying these files are not related to them. Also all the directory have root and sys access. Just need you expert optinions can I proceed to delete these files to have successfull Ignite backup.
I can take ignite backup excluding these files but just want to get rid of these directory and have a successfull ignite backup without any issue.
Appreciate you expert help on this.

It looks like the problem is the embedded double quotes.
Ignite doesn't like embedded spaces and probably quotes too?
You could rename the file, get it backed up. And if anyone has problems, at least you have a copy.

Re: Ignite backup not working
Hi Dennis,
I think double quote is only showing in ignite backup message log. In actual file or directory there is no double quote. You can see the structure of each directory in my earlier post
Can I delete these directory? will it cause any issue or any otherway to overcome this issue.

You listed the directory only, not the content of .userPrefs.
When you list the content, please add -b so we can see unprintable chars.

Re: Ignite backup not working
>drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 96 Dec 9 2010 _!':!bw"t!#4!a!"w!#4!bw"2
So no unprintable chars, just Unix unfriendly chars.
As I said above, just rename it. Since it has both types of quotes, you need to do something like:
mv "_!':!bw\"t!#4!a!\"w!#4!bw\"2" _!SQ:!bwDQt!#4!a!DQw!#4!bwDQ2
Then you can look inside that directory.

Re: Ignite backup not working
Hello Expert,
I am able to take ignite backup now but it is completing with the following WARNING:
WARNING: There was a problem with the list of files/directories to archive.
Input: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2013-02-04,WARNING: There was a problem
with the list of files/directories to archive.
Input: /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2013-02-04,13:07/flist
The following line(s) had too few/incorrect entries in each of them.
Problem lines:
line: 14 tntabhome/dat 40777 1120047583 96 0
I tried to list /tntabhome/dat if any special or non printable character is there but couldn't find any.
# ls -b tntabhome/dat
.cshrc EFT001.pnd atmcards.txt infile sign
.exrc NBBarch autorel interface swift
.login api batchPosting lost+found transfer
.profile api_seq crdcards.txt opc
.sh_history arch dump rates
Anyhelp on this how to resolve this issue and take a ignite backup without any warning.
Regards
Syed

Re: Ignite backup not working

You need to list the directory itself, not the contents: (But if you were able to list it, then no blanks.)
$ ll -d -b tntabhome/dat
Can you look at the format of the lines around that line in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2013-02-04,13:07/flist?
Search for the timestamp of 1120047583.
14 is the number of chars in "tntabhome/dat", so there is a blank on the end.

Re: Ignite backup not working
Hello Dennis,
I tried to list /tntabhome/dat directory and it gives the following O/P.
# ll -d -b tntabhome/dat
drwxrwxr-x 16 tntabftp tntabtc4 2048 Dec 4 2006 tntabhome/dat
As per your suggestion I tried to view the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/2013-02-04,13:07/flist and tried to search 1120047583. I can see two entry over there which are as follows:
47 tntabhome/dat /dump/dbpreeod3.29-JUN-2005.dmp.Z 100644 1120047583 836941 818
47 tntabhome/dat /dump/dbpreeod2.29-JUN-2005.dmp.Z 100644 1120047600 27990163 27335
Please suggest.
