UNIX Backup Agent Skips Directories!

[Ron_Miller_2]

I installed the backup agent on Linux and worked fine for a few months. Just realized that the agent skips all directories in an export entry. It work just fine in another export. I put the agent in debug mode and saw that it went through the directory structure and skipped all the directories because it can't get the inode or free space. Here is an example:

25467:Object(/usr2/cvs) dev=0x802 mode=0x0
25467:hdir->path is '/usr2' dta.achName is 'cvs'
25467:SkipObject(cvs): attrFile=0x10
25467:ustat(): stat=0 f_tfree=0 f_tinode=0 f_fname=
25467:SkipObject: ubuf.f_tinode==0

The directory certainly exists and has files inside of it.

I'm stumped as to what is causing this. Here's some specs:

Backup Exec -- Unix Agent, Version 5.01 Revision 5.046
Linux 2.6.7

Thanks!

Hello,


Please verify whether the version is compatible in the SCL.

This might be caused if the files are open during backup job. Presently Unix Agent does not support backup of open files.


Thanks,

Hi Ron
I have a similar problem and I'd like to know if you got yours solved ?

Just installed the linux agent and I can happily backup the linux
system based on ext2, but thats not what I want.
I want the data partitions based on xfs.
Well, I would give up, 'cause I use backup exec 9.0 with a SUSE 9.3
AND I KNOW this is NOT on the compability list - alas -
but there is ONE subdirectory on the xfs patition that can be
seen and backuped and it is definitly absolut similar to the others
on this partition. nearly same files included, same rights given.
nobody's working on the other subdirs.

so when there is one - why can't there be the others, too ???

intrested in some logfile ?
