Topic: Tape Backup (unknown option: fs)

[crimsonline]

Hi,

The flexbackup just stopped working for some reason. I first thought it was the drive so i replaced it with an identical drive. But when i do a
"./sbin/e-smith/backup" I get the following "unknown option: fs"

I'm running SME 6.0.1

Please help

Regards,

Crimson
