Title: Flexbackup problem
Post by: bculver on February 22, 2005, 12:58:17 PM

I recently fitted a tape drive to an SME server which was upgraded to 6.0.1 in the meantime.  Now whenever the backup job runs, I get an email from cron with:

Quote

flexbackup version 1.1.7 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net)
/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK

Errors:
 $erase_tape_set_level_zero not defined
Backup terminated: backup failed - status: 256

It is most likely that this error is the result of a flexbackup control panel contrib I installed long ago.

I had a look in flexbackup.conf, and there is an entry:
$erase_tape_all_level_zero = 'false';
which looks fine.  I tried moving this line to the same position as in the example on the flexbackup web site, and even removing it (I know this is not the way to do it - I was testing) but it made no difference.

There is only one flexbackup.conf file, in /etc/.  I am a bit stumped.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Barry.

I'm not sure about your issue.. but I do know that editing the config files in /etc directly isn't the way to go.. SME uses a template system that generates those files from smaller fragments. instructions can be found here http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Customizing

Maybe this might help you.

I've got the same problem. I just installed sme 6.01, made a good backup. After installing an old rpm 'dmc-mitel-flexbackup-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm' i got the same error.
I got my backup ruuning again afte uninstalling the rpm (rpm -e dmc-mitel-flexbackup).
