I hope you guys help me as you did it before.
I'm using "fbackup" in HP UX with tapes, and I get different errors when I try to execute it, it happens several days ago.
I use this line:
fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -0vg /.respaldo
Where ".respaldo" is my directories list.
i /users
i /usr/local
i /opt/perl5
And I get this:
fbackup(1421): no history is available for graph file ./.respaldo (below level 0)
fbackup(1004): session begins on Wed May 20 00:51:40 2009
fbackup(3038): output file /dev/rmt/0m is not a valid device file for backup
fbackup(3019): would you like to enter a new output file?
I was looking for a solution over the internet, but I find nothing specific to solve it.
I don't know how correct will be to create a new output file.
Thanks in advanced.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Probles using fbackup
Re: Probles using fbackup
If so, what kind is it?
What does 'ioscan -kfnC tape' show?
Also, what version of HP-UX are you running?
Some older versions of HP-UX required patches to support some of the newer tape drvies.

Re: Probles using fbackup
Re: Probles using fbackup
it seams that you don't use the right special file for your tape device
the solution:
ioscan -fnC tape
and get the correct path to your tape device like
/dev/rmt/...
and do
fbackup -f /dev/rmt/... -0vg /.respaldo
thanks

Re: Probles using fbackup
Until that day, it was working perfectly. I do this backup weekly.
This is my "old washing machine", as I call it.
# uname -a
HP-UX isso2 B.11.00 A 9000/800 262287381 two-user license
# model
9000/800/K410
I'm using an external device with HP 8GB DDS-3 tapes.
