Hello Eric, I've solved it by set a change directory before the problematic tar command. The suggested change will be tested tonight.
I'm using CentOS 5 latest update (5.10). Qtp: qmailtoaster-plus-0.3.2-1.4.20 Thanks, Peter -------- Oorspronkelijk bericht -------- Van Eric Shubert <e...@shubes.net> Datum: 06-04-2014 02:49 (GMT+01:00) Aan qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Onderwerp [qmailtoaster] Re: qtp-backup won't work On 04/05/2014 11:13 AM, Peter Peterse wrote: > Hello list, > > on my qtp installation the backup doesn't work any more.

I don't see the difference either to be honest. I thought this version had been run already, and perhaps it was with an older version where it worked. tar is a little squirrelly with the options. It doesn't appear to be picking up the -C option properly, for whatever reason. Please try this: # tar --create --gzip --file $backupdest/$curlfile \ --directory $backupdest $DATENAME-* and let us know if that works. P.S. Which versions are you running (OS and qtp)? -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
