whence fbackup

Why don't you try running it interactively from sam and see what happens.

It probably woulnd't hurt to reboot the server and take a fresh start.

Hi,
check if a process is still active on the tape device; it might hols it. How do you start fbackup, cron or command line. Please show us the command.
Btw, remember to kill by -15 as it frees the memory occupied by the process. This is rather important in connection with fbackup as it is my experience that fbackup reserves a rather big amount of memory.

regards,
John K.

Hi,

you can try

# fbackup 2>&1 -v| tee /tmp/fbackup.output

this redirects output in /tmp/fbackup.output.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Ettore

Hi Issac,

check and see if you have a hung fbackup process which is still accessing the drive.

Hope this helps.

If its fbackup

ps -ef | grep fbackup

See about killing those processes.

I'm attaching a script that will kill processes by pattern.

It has some safegaurds but should be used with caution.

gkill

It does what the name implies group process kills.
