Topic: My E-Smith finally took a DUMP?

[Chris Woods]

I finally got my SME 5.5 to save something to tape.  Can someone tell me if this looks like a good DUMP?

flexbackup version 0.9.8 /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK

Hi,
Looks ok to me, the answer will come from trying to do a restore, when needed.
I use the Seagate drive as well, and am having a heck of a time doing a command line restore, of just one file as follows:
home/e-smith/files/users/dwilliams/home/Agland Web/Toys.htm
Flexbackup complains that:
.home/e-smith/files/users/dwilliams/home/Agland is not on the tape
./Web/Toys.htm is not on the tape.
Clearly it has something to do with the space between Agland and Web.
When I do list of the files on tape it is there.
Anyway, it is clearly important to work with the utlity, to assure you can get back, what you have save.
Any tipe appreciated.
Dan

Escape the space with a \ as in:
home/e-smith/files/users/dwilliams/home/Agland\ Web/Toys.htm

should work, I think

Good to always test the restore.
