backup probs

[ROSDI BIN SAAD]

Hi all,

I faced a funny problem during my script creation and testing. My script actually performed daily automate backup via cron services. It was running without any error and accurate result once invoking manually, BUT once setting thru cronjob, it was appeared an crutial error and unable to perform as we expected. Currently, i'm using "

/dev/robot_ult_2> "

Once, seeting to move tape in.out to slot/drive, it will not run as per manually run. Attached is the log error.
Hope our gurus and most of the experts can do some fever to me. tx

hi,

the tape you are using may be defective, or the device file do not exists as it keeps prompting (from the log file):

tar: cannot open /dev/rmt/15m
/dev/rmt/15m: No such device or address

try doing this:

# mt -f /dev/rmt/15m rew
to see if the tape may be rewind and if okay, try doing a tar on that tape (if it may be tested) to check:
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/15m /etc/hosts
see what message you get?

regards.
