fbackup logs

[Sauvik Basu]

Hi,
Our system is backed up via fbackup which runs as a cron job.Can anyone give me any information where to find the status as to whether the backup job executed yesterday?
Thanks in advance,
Sauvik.

Check /var/adm/cron/log.

Sauvik,

Check the cron.log file to see if job triggered.

Check the crontab entry to find out where it is redirecting messages.

or

paste crontab -l output here.

Sauvik,

Check if output from fbackup is redirected to a logfile. That is, if the entry in crontab looks like:

00 01 * * * fbackup ... > /tmp/fbackup.log 2>&1

then look at /tmp/fbackup.log.

Did you create your fbackup task as a special script or use SAM? SAM creates the logfiles when you configure fbackup for regular backups. Use crontab -l to see what the cron entry looks like.

Sauvik,

To continue what Bill said, if SAM was used to schedule fbackup, you should have a look at SAM's logfiles, too. Check out:

/var/sam/log/
/var/sam/log/bg_log
/var/sam/log/samlog
