Hi all,
Yesterday i installed afbackup on my freebsd servers. I did a test backup
with it and i worked fine. Now today i wanted to continue testing but i
kept getting this error report in the logfile of the afbackup server
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Command 87 ('W') failed (writing to tape
failed.)
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Command Error: device is not open for writing.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Connection to client lost. Exiting.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:28 2002, Exiting with bad status 1, current error: No
such file or directory
now with "device" i assume it means my tape unit (/dev/sa0) so i placed a
new tape in it and used "mt -f /dev/sa0 erase" to clean it. This went well
but when i restarted the backup afterwards i got the same error.
and i just can't seem to figure out what directory/file it can't find
the client logfiles say
Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Server Error: setting
the file failed.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Full backup finished.
Mon Dec 9 16:44:31 2002, Warning: Minor errors occurred during backup.
See the logfile `/var/log/client.backup.log' for more details.
I installed afbackup from the ports collection, these are the versions
afbackup-client-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
afbackup-server-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system
the afbackup server is running FreeBSD 4.5 release-p22
the afbackup client is running FreeBSD 4.7 release-p2
A
does anyone know what is going wrong and how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel
