How big are the filesystems that you are performing a back up of? Are you executing the fbackup from the command log? Have you tried using SAM to execute the backup?

[Rigoberto Barocio_1]

I use SAM to perform backup, and the filesystem
it's not to large about 35gb.

Hi there.
Pls try the command line version of fbackup.
For help look at the man pages.

Hi


Does this work


/etc/fbackup -0vi/tmp -f/dev/rmt/0m

Simple backup of /tmp

How long does it take


Check your log files for errors

fbackup must first scan the entire backup scope (the filesystems that will be included in the backup) and make entries into a shared memory block of RAM. If these are small files, there could be millions and it will take a very long time to get started (no tape movement), especially if the system is also quite busy. You could run ipcs -bmop to look at the size of this shared memory area. If it continues to grow, then fbackup hasn't finished compiling the table of contents. fbackup will also wait/retry for a long time when a file is locked.
