Backup Script

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this question but I have a script on an IBM RS6000 that has quit working. I can manually run a backup using SMIT and it appears okay, but not sure about the script.

----------code------------
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x
echo backup beginning
date
find /home -print | backup -i -f /dev/rmt0.1 -q
echo backup finished
date
----------------------------

it had several other directories included as well but I figured I would start with one and see if I could narrow down the problem of not backing up

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. I just kind of inherited this problem and this server because the person that maintained it quit.

TIA,
cami
