I am using SME 5.6 , Tandberg SLR5 Tape drive.
I have installed dmc-mitel-flexbackup-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm and left all setting to default.
Below is a dump of my flexbackup.conf and flexbackup/all.latest.gz
The log file shows:-
buffer (writer): write of data failed: Input/output error
bytes to write=10240, bytes written=-1, total written 10K
DUMP: Broken pipe
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
Any help would be very much appreciated,
John A
