I'am a new in Flexbackup. I tried to use a IDE tapedrive....but getting trouble with my settings.
Error-Message:
flexbackup version 1.0.5 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net) /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK
|------------------------------------------------------------ | Checking 'buffer' on this machine... Ok | Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash2 |------------------------------------------------------------ | Trying "mt defblksize" instead of "mt setblk" Error setting block size Neither of these commands worked: mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0 mt -f /dev/nst0 defblksize 0
flexbackup.conf:
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # General configuration section
# Archive type? afio, dump, tar, cpio, star, pax, zip $type = 'afio';
# List the directories you wish to dump when 'all' is given # Just a simple space-separated list # Remote filesystems should denoted as 'host:dir' # # Example: # $filesystems[0] = '/ /usr /home machine1:/usr machine2:/home'; # # The array index is a tape number. If you want an 'all' level 0 backup to # span multiple tapes, add more lines with different array indices. You will # be prompted for tape change in between. # $filesystems[0] = '/home /etc /export';
# Compression $compress = 'gzip'; # one of false/gzip/bzip2/zip/compress/hardware $compr_level = '4'; # compression level (1-9) (for gzip/bzip2/zip)
# Buffering
$buffer = 'buffer'; # 'false' or 'buffer', to use buffer program to help streaming
$buffer_megs = '3'; # buffer memory size (in megabytes)
$pad_blocks = 'true';
# Device to backup to - non-rewinding version please!
#
# Examples:
# Linux SCSI: /dev/nst0 Linux IDE: /dev/nht0
# Linux ftape: /dev/nqft0 FreeBSD SCSI: /dev/nrsa0
#
# If a directory, will archive to files in that directory rather than a device
# If "host:/dev/tapedevice", will use remote tape drive via rsh/ssh
#
$device = '/dev/nst0';
#$device = '/root/backup';
# Block size (k) to use # Default is 10 for most things. Some tape drives need 32 or 64. # Set to '0' to disable all blocking $blksize = '0';
# True to use "variable" block size for the tape device (mt setblk 0) # If false, will use the $blksize parameter above. All non-mt commands # will still use $blksize regardless of this value $mt_var_blksize = 'false';
# Padding. True to pad blocks to blocksize (devices only, not used when # archiving to files) $pad_blocks = 'true';
Is there someone who can tell my how to solve this........ nice problem??? ;-))
Thanks Steffen
