Hi folks, I'm using bsdtar.exe on several Win2k-Serve and Win2003Sever machine to do the daily backup buisness... I encountered the following problem:
while bsdtar tried to read a file from a mounted samba share with a very long filename it encoutered the following problem: bsdtar.exe: S:\/(3) Written Work and Documenttemplates/(3.1) Thesispapers/(3.1.1) DA Docs/222_Student_123456789ABCD/DA 123456789ABCD/Endnotes X1 Datarecords/Thesispaper_CC.Data/PDF/[Evermann 2005]_Towards cognitive foundation of knowledge representation-3456672768: Cannot stat: No such file or directory Well I'm not blaming bsdtar for that, as I'm not even able to get any meta-information of the very by right clicking it in the explorer.... shame on that OS. The problem is, that bsdtar quits doing it's job rather then trying to archive the next file.... Although I've read through the man page about 5 times I didn't find a fail-safe option which would allow bsdtar to continue after a reading failure.... As there might be one day where my boss comes around and asks where all the backuped data would be gone I'm now asking you all for some adivce... Is there such an option or do I have to look out for a different tool... By the way: I' Invkoing bsdtar form a perlscript in this way: "C:\programme\GnuWin32\bsdtar.exe" -cvvLpP --format pax -T include_files.list -X exclude_files.list -f "D: \backup\2008-08-07-Monthly.tar") This doesn't do the trick either (note the additional l in cvvLlpP): "C:\programme\GnuWin32\bsdtar.exe" -cvvLlpP --format pax -T include_files.list -X exclude_files.list -f "D: \backup\2008-08-07-Monthly.tar") Cheers Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ GnuWin32-Users mailing list GnuWin32-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gnuwin32-users
