James, There is a program called 'buffer' which is used (I guess) when writing backup images to tape. (I don't write my images to tape so I don't use this program.) It seems that your config file specifies the use of this program, but your system cannot find it when it goes looking for it. Either it is not installed, or it is installed but its location is not in your PATH environment variable. So, you need to either remove the reference from you config file, fix your PATH, or install the buffer program.

Have you read and thought about the error message? Do you have the "buffer" program installed? If so, where, and what is the PATH variable set to when flexbackup runs? If not, disable the use of buffer in your config. -- Charlie --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ flexbackup-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
[flexbackup-help] buffer not found in $PATH
I have just installed version 1.2.1 and it looks like just what I need for my backup purposes. However I am getting an error output when I attempt any commands that communicate with the tape drive. >flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net) >/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK > >Errors: > buffer not found in $PATH Has anyone else had this error and found a solution? Have I missed something in the config file?
