Can anyone point me to a set of good backup scripts, which allow for fast recovery, and allow several filesystems to be put on one tape? I have tried to use flexbackup, and it doesn backup, but any restore operations (or list) confuse the hell out of it. and it refuses to recognize its own tapes: flexbackup -list flexbackup version 0.9.8 <flexbackup@home.com> /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK |------------------------------------------------ mt: compression: unknown command Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/bin/flexbackup line 2237. | Reading from current tape position |------------------------------------------------ /dev/sa0: hardware block location 0 |------------------------------------------------ | dd ibs=10k obs=10k conv=noerror,sync if=/dev/sa0 | restore -t -v -b 10 -f - |------------------------------------------------ dd: /dev/sa0: Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 6.381919 secs (0 bytes/sec) dd: /dev/sa0: Operation not permitted 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 10240 bytes transferred in 6.383113 secs (1604 bytes/sec) Tape is not a dump tape Verify tape and initialize maps dd: /dev/sa0: Operation not permitted 2+0 records in 2+0 records out 20480 bytes transferred in 6.394473 secs (3203 bytes/sec) Apr 29 12:34:37 alchemistry (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than suplied buffer |------------------------------------------------ /dev/sa0: hardware block location 0 |------------------------------------------------ am i doing smth wrong? has anyone been able to use flexbackup successfully? please let me know. i tried also to use gzip with dump. but tapes are not recognized again.
