Re: Error on backup

No, it's not a system call returning with setting errno to 2.
It is tar exiting with an exit status of 2. Check 'man tar' or 'info tar'.

Check the DETAIL section of the report, it give the tar error message.

And error code 2 can be found in either /usr/include/errno.h or
/usr/include/sys/errno.h, depending on your particular version of UNIX
and how it structures the include files.  (On Tru64 UNIX, the code is
'file or directory not found'.)
