Hi Everyone,
I am trying to frecover to a symbolic link and I am getting the following error....
file ./mirror_backup exist but is not a directory.
And then it just hangs there.
Here is what I am doing... I split the mirrors and remount the mirror as /mirror_backup then create an fbackup tape. Now i want to restore the entire tape into a directory called data on another system. So i created a symbolic link in the / directory.
ln -s /data /mirror_backup
When try to do my frecover I get the above message
My frecover command is
frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/c0t0d0 -i /mirror_backup
What really had me bothered is that it worked earlier and i have no idea how i fat fingered it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Tim

SolutionFound the problem....
I was testing with the same tape... Because of this, the time and date stamps were identical. So, the frecover would not overwrite the files. I needed to add the -o option to my command so that it overwrites regardles of the time and date stamp. Command now is...
frecover -xvof /dev/rmt/c0t0d0 -i /mirror_backup
