fbackup warning

[Luis Varon]

Hello,

i have a problem regarding the backup of an hp-ux machine with fbackup.

To explain it: The machine has worked fine with fbackup until two weeks ago, where i changed the ip-adress and the hostname, as the machine replaced an older one.

Now I receive following warnings for fbackup, but yesterday it seems that the machine could save all the data and the databases.

Here is the output of the logfile:

fbackup(1513): statcall failed in dotdotnotparent
fbackup(1507): WARNING: could not chdir to products
fbackup(1513): statcall failed in dotdotnotparent

fbackup(1513): statcall failed in dotdotnotparent
fbackup(1507): WARNING: could not chdir to AgentConfig
fbackup(1513): statcall failed in dotdotnotparent

Does anyone has an idea what the error can be.

Many thanks in advance for helping me.

Kind regards

Are the files/directories mentioned in the warnings from NFS mounts? If so, make sure that root has access and re-export them.

Did you re-export them after you changed the ip address/hostname?

It should be the problem with permissions.

Make sure that the dir has permission for the backup user.

Are u running the backup as root.

As stated above if these files are from nfs make sure that you modify the /etc/exports file to make sure that the the remote backup user has the sufficient permissions

revert

It seems that accessing the NFS mount point does not have permission to cd to the specified directory. To have root privileges over NFS, it must explcitly given in the /etc/exports file.
So you may check /etc/exports and /.rhosts files in the remote system.
To restart the nfs server on the remote system:
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

To restart the nfs client:
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Maybe you could check the hostname in the .rhost file and the ip address ,hostname in the host file.

Many thanks to all for helping me with this problem.

You are rigth that it is an problem with the rights as i was not root while executing the backup.
