Hi! I have some problems using the backup system on a amd64 xen-domU. I have a perl script running which uses vos backupsys, backup dump and backup dumpinfo to save the backup on disk and automatically delete the old files.
After a backup of the backup-database (/var/lib/openafs/db/bdb.DB0) on the old debian i386 machine (openafs 1.4.1) I did a new installation using the same host name on a amd64 xen-domU. After installing a newer version of AFS (openafs 1.4.7) I restored the backup-database. ~$ backup dbverify -localauth Database OK Everything looked nice so I started the backup script which did not run as expected. In the script the following commands get executed: vos backupsys -prefix user -localauth backup dump user /month0/week0/day5 3 -localauth backup dumpinfo -id $id -verbose -localauth vos backupsys worked fine. backup dump returned -1 but seamed to work. I cannot not find the meaning of the return value in the docs. backup dumpinfo sometimes returns false year at the expires date. ~$ backup dumpinfo -id 1231148454 -verbose -localauth Dump ---- id = 1231148454 Initial id = 0 Appended id = 0 parent = 1231082429 level = 1 flags = 0x0: Successful volumeSet = user dump path = /month0/week0/day5 name = user.day5 created = Mon Jan 5 10:40:54 2009 nVolumes = 11 Group id = 0 tapeServer = format = user.day5.%d maxTapes = 1 Start Tape Seq = 1 name = afs instance = cell = Tape ---- name = user.day5.1 flags = 0x20: Successful written = (null)expires = Tue Aug 1 16:05:11 91972 kBytes Tape Used = 678704 nMBytes Data = 661 nBytes Data = 205202 nFiles = 0 nVolumes = 11 seq = 1 labelPos = 0 useCount = 1 dump = 1231148454 Volume ------ name = user.toto.backup flags = 0x18: First fragment: Last fragment id = 536875716 server = partition = 0 tapeSeq = 1 position = 1 clone = Mon Jan 5 10:40:52 2009 startByte = 0 nBytes = 13153132 seq = 0 dump = 1231148454 tape = user.day5.1 Volume ------ name = user.mmuecke.backup flags = 0x18: First fragment: Last fragment id = 536874963 server = partition = 0 tapeSeq = 1 position = 808 clone = Mon Jan 5 10:40:52 2009 startByte = 0 nBytes = 15825896 seq = 0 dump = 1231148454 tape = user.day5.1 ... ... In the Tape section of the output of backup dumpinfo -verbose the expires date is set to "Tue Aug 1 16:05:11 91972". The false year appears for new and old entries but not all are affected. Does this issue happen because I restored the backup of an i386 machine on an amd64 machine? The backup is running now and I also can restore data but I have troubles to delete the old backups from the disk because of the false expires date. Any ideas?
