Title: backup problem
Post by: jpeters on February 08, 2009, 04:35:33 AM

I've tried rebooting several times, with the same result. It's been a while since I backed up, so I don't
know when the problem started.

Code: [Select]

Backup produced errors
Shutdown Aborted     
                 
/tmp/backup_status

Code: [Select]

tar: : No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors

Check your filetool.lst, there might be some weird line there.

Nice call... a blank line at the end (hard to see ;)

This is a problem for many. Perhaps a cleanup of that file should be added to the backup script, to be done right before backup. Something like

Quote

cd /
rm /tmp/newfiletool
for i in `cat /opt/.filetool.lst`; do
[ -e "$i" ] && echo "$i" >> /tmp/newfiletool
done
mv /tmp/newfiletool /opt/.filetool.lst

This is nice to know as I always by habit create an empty line at the end of each file as a normal protocol.

I will add a deletion of empty line(s).
