[flexbackup-help] Offending command ?

[Bosschaert, M. <m.b...@An...>]

Hi,
I try to get flexbackup working, however I get the following error:

flexbackup -dir /
...
./bin/autom4te
./bin/automake
./bin/setterm
./bin/autoscan
./bin/getkeycodes
./bin/libtool
./bin/ssh-agent
./bin/ksplash
./bin/kspread
./bin/WPrefs
buffer (writer): write of data failed: Input/output error
bytes to write=10240, bytes written=-1, total written        700K

ERROR from backup, exiting
offending command(s):
cd "/usr" && find . -depth -xdev ! -type s ! -regex ".*/[Cc]ache/.*" !
-regex ".*~"$ -print0 | tar --create --null --files-from=-
--ignore-failed-read --same-permissions --no-recursion --totals --label
"level 0 /usr Wed Sep 24 10:43:19 2003 tar+gzip from
cardiores2.antonius.net" --verbose --sparse --file - | gzip -4 | buffer -m
10m -p 75 -t -u 100 -B -o "/dev/nht0"

This error is reproducible whenever I make a backup of a somewhat larger set
of data. Smaller sets (eg. /etc) backup with no errors. Also when I do a
-newtape and then run a (large) set of data, there are no problems.

I run debian 3.0, flexbackup 1.2.0. 

Any help highly appreciated
Mike
