Hi, it's me again ;o) I've tried it now, and need some help ;o)
Backup seems to work nice here. But there are some messages i don't understand: | Checking /bin/sh on this machine... unknown (probably Bourne Shell) What's that? Ok. i see no error or something like that ... but i would like to know why it's there ;o) /dev/nrsa0: old model was 1 filemark at EOT /dev/nrsa0: new model is 1 filemark at EOT What this. When I get it right the sense is the same ;o) The rest is more or less clear to me ... Then I tried Listings ... they work really nice for me .. you did good work ;o) And then .. Restore ... the special Moment ;o) I've here two directorys tested. set is /htdocs /mysql. Here's the TOC: File Contents (tape index 200311201120) --------------------------------------------- 0 <tape index key> 1 level 0 /htdocs Thu Nov 20 11:20:15 2003 tar+gzip from testServ.localnet 2 level 0 /mysql Thu Nov 20 11:41:46 2003 tar+gzip from testServ.localnet I tried to restore one file with testServ# flexbackup -extract -onefile /htdocs/test.htm The File exists, in real, and on Backup .. at least the Backup said this ;o) Then he search for a good while and told me that the File does not exists. What did I wrong? I think it could be that I have to give the File Number .. but i don't know how ... Please Help! ;o) Thx by now for your Help ... FlexBackup is really really cool .. and i the Tape check will come in the Future, it seems to be the best ;o) Great Work!
