Hi everyone,
My flexbackup to tape is working well. Recovery works fine.
Please don't get me wrong the the e-smith software and all software is fantastic.
I would like to know if any one has come across the following. I've followed the Darrell May How to:
How to list and view the contents of a tape
To list and view the contents of a tape you may issue the commands shown below:
cd /root/flexbackup
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
/usr/bin/flexbackup -list > /dev/null
/bin/ls -l /root/flexbackup/flexbackup.list.log
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/usr/bin/pico /root/flexbackup/flexbackup.list.log
All works fine but when I try and scroll through the flexbackup.list.log to view a particular file, it was not listed, only the folder it resides in is listed. ( there could be 20 files in this folder).
Even though I can recover the individual file but listing it's exact location from my memory.
The viewing list is not detailed enough. I thought it would list every single file no matter where or how deep it is on the backup tape.
Am I missing something? Is there a better way to be able to view absolutely all files backed up?
Regards
Nick
