Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Working Well - Except Archiving
2008-11-18 09:17:25
Trying an alternative angle on this...
An archive is successfully created when started from within the web page. This
produces a log-file with the following entry:
Executing: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split home---tom 10
/bin/gzip .gz 0000000 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/whole---all_backups *
In a terminal running exactly the same command line as user = backuppc returns:
Usage: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost tarCreatePath splitPath
parPath host bkupNum compPath fileExt splitSize outLoc parFile share
Any suggestions why this runs successfully from the CGI but fails at the
command line?
