Sorry to be banging on the list so much lately, but I've got another issue I
don't understand...
I've modified a copy of BackupPC_archiveHost, with the changes being:
- I'm piping output to gpg after compression and before splitting
- I want my archive filenames in this format: 0.$host.tar.

Hi all,
I have a Ubuntu 8.04 and BackupPC 3.x.x setup with an LTO-1 drive.
When I go to archive a host I get the following error:
Executing: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split

Ok. For 3.1.0 I'll make sure it defaults to something sensible

Do you really mean "archive", or do you mean "backup"?
Did you upgrade using the vanilla tarball and configure.pl?
What XferMethod are you using on this host?

I've just upgraded to version 3, and all of a sudden my archive went

Hi Les
That was the problem thank you, for interests sake it a Debian systerm and
there is a tape group that owns /dev/st0, the archive is running currently

I am trying to set up a simple archive device. I think I have it set
up properly, but I am seeing this (rather unhelpful) error:
Archive failed (Error: /opt/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate,
compress or split failed)
I disabled compression and splitting, but I still get the error.
