Hi! This is my first post and im not that familiar with UNIX but I'll try to explain my problem..

I have a server here at work running Open UNIX Release 8.0.0

It has a special application on it that I'm trying to run a database backup on. For the last 2 weeks this has failed.. Usually the backup takes 1 hour to run but now it failes after 8 hours (often have to reboot the machine in the morning for the users to be able to access the application again)

I have the backup log that i can attach but its very large.. And im not sure it will say anything...

I have some CPU and Disk activity output for you.. But my question is basicly is there some way i can see what is happening.. What the system is trying to write where? To find out why it failes?

The backup has been running for 1h 45min as i write this and it have some heavy disk activity on the c0b0t0d0s1 "slice?" all the time.. Is this /dev/root partition/slice?
