Hi Erwan, I know you've probably tried most of this. Checking back on your mail of 5 May, I see: /dev/nst0: Input/output error There is nothing flexbackup can do until that is sorted. What blocksize does mt status report on a clean boot? Can you run a simple tar to the drive? mt -f /dev/st0 status mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar tf /dev/nst0 Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what you're using in the script. "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024" and use $mt_blksize = "1024"; Niall |

Hi Erwan, Could you include your configuration again? " grep -v -e ^\# -v -e ^$ /etc/flexbackup.conf " will give us just your active configuration. What output do you get from: " mt status " ? Are you using version 1.2.1 of flexbackup? OK - take compression and the tape out of your next test. Make a directory /tmp/FlexTest, set these options and run flexbackup again. $compress =3D 'false'; $device =3D '/tmp/FlexTest/'; Now " flexbackup -test-tape-drive " will say, 'No use trying tape drive tests on directories!', but it will tell you if the rest of your syntax is correct. If you get no errors, run it again without compression but with the tape: $compress =3D 'false'; $device =3D '/dev/nst0'; Please answer the list rather than me personally, so that others may benefit and offer further advice.

Hi Niall. Yes, I've already tried all this feature. For the compression to I've already tried bzip, gzip, hardware and so on. My impression is the next one. After each flexbackup-test-tape-drive It send me Comparing... directory /etc/flexbackup.conf and /tmp/test2.10734 are différents FAILURE! Problem with tape driver or parameters. Please see the FAQ or try changing the $blksize, $pad_blocks, or $mt_blksize settings. SO I've tried to see what is talking about this /tmp/test. I modified the script and I copy them into a directory and when i open it it was just the /usr/bin/flexbackup. SO no idea but I continue.

If your tape drive has compression turned on, you should not use software compression. I would recommend using software compression where possible as you will get better predictions on size, and you will get better portability of your backups. It's far easier to recompile bzip2 for a new platform than it is to reverse engineer a compression algorithm on a chip when your Dell tape drive dies.

Hello list,=20 =20 Can you explain to me , i tried to use flexbackup and more efficiently i would like to restore an old backup. For example, when I backup 3 or 4 differents "set" in different time.

So i tried =20 flexbackup -extract -flist <f> flexbackup -extract -onefile <f> =20 May be I lost something, so give me an idea. thanks a lot.. ******************************************************************** This email may contain information which is privileged or confidential.

Carlos, I'd suggest using something like: $exclude_expr[0] = '.*(?<!\.nsf)$'; Prune is only for directories. Mark On Thu, May 19, 2005 at 12:40:53PM -0400, Carlos A.

This files need to categorized in some way to do what you want. I'd suggest putting all your executables in a known subdirectory of your project, and exclude that directory from being backed up. This only involves your filesystem and flexbackup. On Thu, May 19, 2005 at 06:12:11PM +0200, max wrote: > Mark, > unfortunately the program names do not follow any rule.

Hi:
Can anybody share some "prune" examples?
What I need to do is similar (opposite).
I need to backup just .nsf files on some directory.
So I'll try to not_to_backup anything else.
Thanx

Mark,=20 unfortunately the program names do not follow any rule. Moreover, I can also add or delete executables during the developing period. A question: do you think it is possible to implement such a feature with my small knowledge of Perl? I think this feature can be interesting for other users...

Max, You'll need to pattern match the files once way or another. Another option is to use the prune feature described in the manpage. What do your filenames look like?

I have already tried to post this message w/o success... Hi everybody I have discovered flexbackup some days ago and I am really happy of such an application. It is really simple to use but still powerful=20 for my needs. I have a question: is it possible to exclude some file types from backup se= t? I am a developer and I am not interested to backup executable files which are inside the directory tree. Unfortunately, these programs have not any extension that I can use in $exclude_expr[] parameters. Any idea? Thanks MAX |

Dear flexbackup user's
=20
I try to user flexbackup since 3 weeks, and for the moment the result arent
so good.
My problem is the next one.
When I made new index with -newtape, it takes more than half an hour to make
it.
My tape is 4 Go storage (so quietly small) and my flexbackup.conf is the ne=
xt
one.
And another is anyboy can help me to define exactly what the bocksize is and
how to configure it .
Thanks for all

Thanks Darrick, but I currently don't use tapes for backups. Perhaps someone subscribed to this list might be interested in using your script if you are willing to post it. I use flexbackup for HD-HD backups. It has worked fairly well for me so far. One time, I swear that it was not backing up all my files and was burned. I now run a compare for every backup. I'm a perl programmer and just thought I'd lend a quick hand to Jim.
