Topic: Scheduled Backup to Desktop issues on 5.6

[Lawrence]

Hi,

I posted the following to this thread http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=5421.msg19126#msg19126 , but I'm not sure it posted properly:

I've been using this backup script for a while on my 5.5 box without any problems. I have recently upgraded to 5.6. I noticed the changes to the MySQL events, and corrected the script. However, I've been receiving the following errors:

/root/desktop_backup.sh: line 20: 29702 Broken pipe cat

/root/desktop_backup.sh: line 20: 29745 Broken pipe cat


/bin/tar: home/e-smith/files/users/pager/Maildir/cur/1045290151.30301_2.esmithh,U=1278,W=1229\:2,: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

/bin/tar: home/e-smith/files/users/pager/Maildir/.imaplock: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

/bin/tar: home/e-smith/files/users/pager/procmail.log: file changed as we read it
/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lawrence

The maildirs have been moved in 5.6, that's why you get those errors.

It turned out that most of the cat errors that were appearing were due to issues on the NT server that I was backing up to.  I had to increase some of the Server service parameters to handle the backups without errors.  Everything is working smoothly now.
