Hi all,
I have a Ubuntu 8.04 and BackupPC 3.x.x setup with an LTO-1 drive. When I go to archive a host I get the following error:
Executing: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/bin/par2 geonosis 75 /bin/gzip .gz 0000000 /dev/st0 0 *
Xfer PIDs are now 9666
Writing tar archive for host geonosis, backup #75 to /dev/st0
/bin/sh: cannot create /dev/st0: Permission denied
Executing: /bin/sh -c -cf /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h geonosis -n 75 -s \* . | /bin/gzip >> /dev/st0
Error: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate, compress or split failed
Archive failed: Error: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate, compress or split failed
So it looks like one of the scripts is trying to create /dev/st0 if its not there, however it is already there. Any ideas. This is probably a Ubuntu issue and not backuppc specific but hopefully someone will know.
Thanks.
