Hi all,
Have recently started using a graph file with the fbackup command and I now get error messages which I did'nt get with my previous use of fbackup. Are these anything to worry about?
'Cannot open the dates file /var/adm/fbackupfile/dates' and
'Warning - Unable to read a volume header' and lastly
'Warning - Could not stat client file xxxx' (This one appears several times)
I get these at the start of the fbackup and it then appears to backup Ok but I just want to make sure the're nothing to worry about.
Command I now use is:
fbackup -vnf /dev/rmt/0m -g 'graphfile' instead of fbackup -vnf /dev/rmt/0m -i /
Many thanks in advance
Fordie

> Cannot open the dates file /var/adm/fbackupfile/dates
This means that you are not using the "dates" feature of fbackup. It is a warning which does not affect your backup
> Warning - Unable to read a volume header'
This means that the tape you are using was NOT previously an fbackup tape and does not have any previous fbackup header.
> Warning - Could not stat client file xxxx' (This one appears several times)
Lastly this one means that the files that are listed were on the system when backup started, but when later on when fbackup went to copy them to tape they were deleted. If you look at them closely they are probably temp files that were cleaned up by some process.
All of these are warnings and do not affect the integrity of your backup.

Re: fbackup error
Shalom,
Your tape seems to have had a lot of passes and may be wearing out. Other alternative is that the tape was used for non-fbackup use before and the software is confused.

Re: fbackup error
The /var/adm/fbackupfile/dates file is used if you start doing full (-0) and incremental (-1) (or -1 thru -9) level backups. The dates file is where fbackup stores the date/timestamp for the backups. It uses this information to determine if the file has changed since it was backed up last. You must create the directory.
