I'm using nas4free as a SAN and am having troubles getting a backup of it's data to work properly. I've posted in the nas4free forums, but haven't received much help.
Here is the code I'm using:
It is scheduled to run as a cron once per day via the nas4free gui. The script runs, and the daily rsync works, but the log file is empty and the weekly commands (in the if statement) do not seem to be working. When I run the tar individually, I get the following:
Quote:
syl-s-030:~# tar -zcfv /mnt/syl-s-012/Backups/CaseData/Weekly/date.tar.gz /mnt/syl-s-012/Backups/CaseData/Daily/
tar: Removing leading '/' from member names
/: write failed, filesystem is full
tar: Write error
I know that the embedded nas4free doesn't have room to install any additional applications, but the source and destination are mounted shares.
So my questions are this.
Does tar use some kind of temp directory that is local? If so, can it be changed?
My logging syntax might be incorrect. If so, how can I create a log of the scripts output that can be emailed?
I have been using the hostdump.sh backup script for over a year now and have recently run into a problem. I'm now getting the following error at the end of my jobs;
/bin/mt -f: error fsf'ing tape.
This script uses the native 'ufsdump'. So, I try to go back and read the last dump on the tape... (11 Replies)

I am currently bringing up an offsite location, right now I am in the process of copying some data offsite (about 400GB).

I'm wanting to do remote backups of the entire /home/* directory structure, which is where HG puts all www files and sets the user and group independently of any other user ( so /home/user1 will be using group user1, instead of a generic apache group)

BARRYBACKUP(1) General Commands Manual BARRYBACKUP(1)NAME
barrybackup - Barry Project's backup program for the BlackBerry handheld
SYNOPSIS
barrybackup [-?][-d]
DESCRIPTION
barrybackup is a GUI application for backing up and restoring Blackberry handheld databases.
The application allows for filtering of databases for both backup and restore, so not all databases need to be backed up at once, nor all
restored.
Backups and configuration files are stored by default in the user's home directory, under ~/.barry/backup/PIN. This destination can be
changed in the config dialogs, per device.
The backup files are compressed tarballs containing specially named files for each record of the databases.
OPTIONS -d--debug-output Enables low level protocol debug output written to stdout/stderr.
--display=DISPLAY
Specify which X display to use.
-? --help Show summary of options.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
TAR FORMAT
Backups are stored in tar format, compressed with gzip. Backup files are named with the following pattern:
PIN-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS[-tag_name].tar.gz
The tag name is optional and is used to name a particular backup.
Each record is appended to the tar file using the following pattern for the filename:
DBname/RecordID RecordTypeID
That is, the database name is used as the directory name, and the filename contains the record ID and record type ID separated by a space.
Database names can contain spaces.
Record IDs are generally unique, but not all Blackberry devices mandate this, so it is possible, but rare, to have two records in the tar
file with the same filename. This is ok. The only problem you'd see is if you expanded such a tar file to a filesystem. The restore
process just reads in the filename sequentially and writes them to the device, so duplicate record IDs are not a problem.
