I've never run into the backup problem, but here's a couple of things you might try to figure out why: check /var/log/messages for anything "interesting" around the time of one of the failures; run RDAdmin from a command line then do a backup so any messages it issues appear at the terminal. There's also the MySQL log at /var/log/mysqld.log, but it's unlikely you'll see anything there.

I currently still only have a single RD system running out on the other side of the country, so I don't get a chance to "fiddle" with it much. I decided I had better do a database backup since its been a long while, and using rdadmin when I tried was greeted with "Unable to create backup!". On some google searching, seems this is a common long-running issue. I did find a command that allowed me to back it up via the command line. The reason for my post is I am wanted to install RD for a single AM station that I do some side work for. My plan is going to make heavy use of running RDLogEdit/RDLogManager from a couple Windows machines. So my questions: 1) Does this "bug" that crops up that won't allow DB backups from within RD also affect the ability to remotely access the DB from RD modules running on Win platforms? 2) Can you have simultaneous access to the DB from multiple Win platforms? I imagine the PD will want to create clocks and such while Traffic will be working on logs. Thanks! -Alan PS This is on the latest appliance via the Parvel website. Also, database backup in rdadmin used to work fine. It just "broke" one day, and since its been a while I'm not sure when or why. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
