we are using a WindowsXP machine as a central backup point. But, there seems to be no chance to write a file greater than 2GB from Linux to WXP (NTFS, no probs to create very big files) using Samba (3.0.22) :-( A simple cp of a 4G file from Linux to Windows failed, too.
So I tried the supplied driver DRIVER_TAR_GZ_SPLIT with 700MB split size. Backup2l now succesfully created a full backup on WXP splitted into (max) 700MB large chunks. Then I run a differential backup2l.
The list command "backup2l -l" gives:
# backup2l -l > xx

Listing locations...
To restore, the archive files of the following backups are missing and
have to be copied or linked into /mnt/reha-bak-sich/VAUBOX:

... but restore gives ...

Cannot access archive file(s) of the following backup(s):

vaubox.1
Nothing has been restored.
All files and directories are world readable. The backup -r command was given from root account.
Is this a driver problem?
TIA for any hint.

Same thing, someone has found the driver problem?
Omg..
Remeber to put in your config file this…
USER_DRIVER_LIST="DRIVER_TAR_GZ_SPLIT"
:s
USER\_DRIVER\_LIST="DRIVER\_TAR\_GZ\_SPLIT"
