Hi,
I'm using bacula to
backup a DB2 database to a fifo.
The backup is
working correctly thanks to the additions made to the developer's
documentation.
The problem I have
at the moment is getting the restore process to work.
The idea was to
create the fifo (using mkfifo) in the same location as previously used
then start
the Db2
restore process
using the usual DB2 restore db ...xxxx... commands in the 'run client before
job' option but redirecting
standard input to
null and standard output and standard error to a log file (as per the developer
documentation)
While this part
works, when
the backed up fifo is restored it is forced into having the
attributes:
/tmp/bacula-fifo
(root, bacula) prw-r-----
This means that DB2
no longer has access to the fifo and responds with a 'Attempt to access media
/tmp/bacula-fifo is denied' error.
Despite the fact the
fifo is created with the following attributes when it was backed up originally
(and prior to the restore process):
/tmp/bacula-fifo
(db2inst1,db2grp1) prw-rw-rw
I'm using 1.36.3
(RHEL2.1AS and RHEL3AS)
Does anyone have any
ideas?
Thanks,
Best
Regards,
Brett
