I keep getting a problem from tar when backuppc goes to back up the localhost, which includes a removable drive in the backup targets:
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /media/adam/Videos-2TB/Videos --totals --newer=2022-10-11\ 13:11:32 . incr backup started back to 2022-10-11 13:11:32 (backup #1343) for directory /media/adam/Videos-2TB/Videos Xfer PIDs are now 22832,22831 /bin/tar: /media/adam/Videos-2TB/Videos: Cannot open: No such file or directory /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now readOutput: sysread returns 0 and got EOF Tar exited with error 512 () status 50% of the time, the backup works. When I run the command above as the backuppc user, it never fails. I'm not sure what to do now. The removable drive is always connected. I can only assume it has something to do with Ubuntu managing the drive somehow so that it is connected when any GUI process tries to access it, but I'm not sure why it shouldn't fail for me when I run it on the command line. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
