I have been using Flexbackup for a few weeks. I made a full backup of my computer and have followed that with daily differential backups alternating two tapes on alternate days.
These backups are run as Cron jobs and yesterday I found the following in the log: |------------------------------------------------------------ | Checking 'buffer' on this machine... Ok | Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash2 |------------------------------------------------------------ | Doing level 1 backup of set fulldataman1 using afio | ERROR: Tape doesn't have an index! (use -newtape?) | Making sure tape is at end of data... | Backup set "fulldataman1" (/ /home /usr /usr/local /var /mnt/dos) |------------------------------------------------------------ At block 0. <Stuff cut here> |------------------------------------------------------------ | Backup start: Mon Feb 02 05:16:49 2004 | Backup end: Mon Feb 02 05:16:50 2004 |------------------------------------------------------------ At block 33201. |------------------------------------------------------------ | Rewinding... | Removing old level 1 log of fulldataman1 (dated 200401310500) | Compressing log (fulldataman1.1.200402020500.gz) | Linking fulldataman1.latest.gz -> fulldataman1.1.200402020500.gz |------------------------------------------------------------ Key not found in index The tape did have an index on all previous runs but now appears to contain 6 empty files. Any ideas as to why this might happen? Could it be caused by a full tape?
