What's the error & what's the file. I'm pretty sure that the logic of the
backup just compares a file's mtime against a recorded value & just backs up
if mtime>recorded-backup-time. Having a "future" file shouldn't affect
this, I would think.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I added /etc/mnttab to the exclude_list
for that client and backups skipped over it and kept going...until another
file with a "future" timestamp was found. Then it bombed again. The
problem is that I can't add every file to the exclude_list because they are
files that are new and need to be backed up. I also can't change the
timezone on the client to match the time on the backup server. Is there
anyway to "overlook" the timestamp on a file and back it up anyway?
Thanks.

It's because /etc/mnttab on a solaris system is a special device file that's
read-only. It's not a file you need to backup. Just put /etc/mnttab in
your exclude_list for this client.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] date stamp on files affecting backups
Hello,
I am running into problems backing up a unix system to a
Windows2000 netbackup server. I am getting an error "cannot reset time
stamp on /etc/mnttab". I checked the date on the unix system and it is
running GMT time instead of EST like the Windows server. However, I can't
change the timezone on the unix client because of processes that rely on a
GMT timestamp. Is there any work around? And will the backups for an
entire filesystem fail when one or more files with "future" timestamps on
them are encountered?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Donna
