[Brian Ham]

I am running the latest version of ignite-ux and I cant get my system image to back up properly. Any ideas? please review below:

Check if you have a file like this exists:
home/v112/\usr\localhome/v112/group20_load_study_403_r_file_0.dat

If yes, correct the file path and name issue (check the forward and backward slashes after v112 and usr)

[Steven E. Protter]

There is probably an unprintable, illegal character in that filename.

How it happens is a mystery.

delete the file in question and your Ignite backup will run.

You can also use the -x exclude option to leave out that directory OR file if don't want to delete it...

Also, you can move it to a filesystem that is not part of your make_tape_recovery. Then simply move it back afterwards.


-x exclude=file|dir

--- Excludes the file or directory from the archive. When a
directory is specified, no files beneath that directory will
be stored in the archive.
