Hi,
I run the following script on linux (we are running Open Suse 10.3)
and the backup log shows that all is backed up successfully (that is,
no error messages are seen). I was looking at the drive when it was
backing up and noticed the 'ready' light flashing (as I would expect
when it is writing to the tape) the whole time while the script was
running. But when I issue the command
tar tvf /dev/nst0 > tapelog_mthly.txt
to see what has been backed up on the tape, it only shows the first
directory (& sub-directories) has been backed up. Following is the
script I am using:
zebra:/usr/local/bin # more monthly_backup.ksh
#!/bin/ksh

mt -f $TapeDev rewind
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]
then
print "Error!: mt returned $?"
fi
for dir in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
do
print "Starting Backup of $dir "`date`
tar cvf $TapeDev $dir
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]
then
print "Error!: tar returned $? for $dir"
fi
print "Completed Backup of $dir "`date`
done
print "Completed Monthly Backup at "`date`
mt -f $TapeDev rewoffl)
#end
Is there something wrong with my script??
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
