fbackup

[Mehmood Ansari_1]

Hi

I am getting error while running fbackup. I am using graph file. What I understanding is graph file is not properly defined.
Please help me out.

Hi Mehmood,

This is not an error but a warning.

These files were open during backups and hence this message.

Also these files has not been backed up.

These are not errors as such but warnings. The files are not backed up as they are open. No sense in backing up files that can change during the backup as the would make the corrupt. Seems you need to sop your databse before starting the backup. and starting it afterwards.
If you are using other tools to back up your database you could exclude the files from the (f)backup.

In graph file under /var/adm/fbackupfiles it is already mentioned that oracle database is excluded.

[Trond Haugen]

The files in /DB/CMS_B/DB/CMS_A/oracle9 is excluded. These files are in /DB/CMS_B.
My guess is that the files existed when fbackup made the list of files to back up. And where not there when it came around to process them.
As for you graph file, does '/DB/CMS_B/DB/CMS_A/oracle9' exixst? (No typos, upper/lower case).

Is it me or should there be a space between -i/-e so that it reads -i/ -e?

Could be fbackup is confused and thinks that the -e is part of the include?

Just wondering....

Good luck

No Allan, that is just part of the fbackup error message.
