Tar Question

[Robie Lutsey]

Hello again,

If I get an error while running a TAR the says:

Can't get Uname for UID 419.

Is the data still getting backed up? Or do I need to recreate UID 419.

Thanks!!

Hello Cliford,

Yes the data is copied but when you restored the files and you do ll you will have the files with the owner 409 and not with the name of the owner.

Regards,

Justo.

I believe the data is backed up but if you restore it it will be owned by user 419.

Which on your system doesn't exist. Which is the case that you have now.

Hi,
The file will be backed up.
The UID 419 is not find on the system. When restored the file will belong to 419.

Hello,

It will be backing up the files. The UID 419 is not in ur /etc/passwd file. May be u can change the ownership of all these files using chown command.

When u restore these file all files owenership will be 419 on the system u r restoring it. If a user with 419 exists in that server then that user name will be shown.

Regards
Joe.

Ah Thank you guys!

Your file was backed up. If you try and restore it, the files will be owned by a user with UID 419...
