Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Backup system to NFS Appliance device Post 39866 by sirhisss on Tuesday 2nd of September 2003 04:54:16 PM

The actual script is too long. I exceed the 10000 character limit.
I don't readily see a way to attach a file to the message.
It does a fair amount of housekeeping prior to the backup

Rats!

The copy command line is given at the top of the thread.

Here is what it looks like in the actual script:

echo "${line}" >> $MAILMSG
#
# do the actual backup
#
datestamp "actual 'backup' command begins ..."
echo "${line}" >> $MAILMSG
cd $STARTDIR
find . ! -fstype nfs ! -type s -print | /bin/cpio -oc >$TAPEDRIVE >>$MAILMSG 2>&
1


I have been able to confirm that I get to the echo "${line}" >> $MAILMSG as shown at beginning of thread
Then I get the series of numbers and the filesize ends up 0


Any ideas would help!
Thx
