All,

I have a couple flash backup installs to do this week and have only done
this
(not quite succesfully) in a test environment.  I would feel a bit more
comfortable
if I knew what I did wrong.  Let me know if you have any ideas.

Environment: Sun Ultra 5 with 2.6.  NBU 3.2 and Flashbackup installed.
Backing
             up to an ATL robot with dlt5000 drives.  Regular file backup
works.

Setup:       Class points to the same storage unit and volume pool as
regular
             backup class that works. 
             class type is set to flasbackup
             schedule is full,daily,12:00 on Sunday for 2 hour window
             files
                  cache=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d1s0
                  /dev/rdsk/c0t0d2s2
             client is the local server client with a cache file system
defined
             on /dev/rdsk/c0t0d1s0 and a filesystem to backup defined on  
                /dev/rdsk/c0t0d2s2
             start a manual backup from jnbSA GUI.

Error:       backup is active and tape is mounted in drive.  I get status
code 12
             "An open of a file failed".  Doesn't seem like a valid code
since I
             am reading from a raw device.

I have tried this with UFS and VXFS file systems.  I have tried with the
cache 
file system mounted and unmounted.  The flashbackup manual indicates that it
should
not be mounted. Should the cache be a disk or slice with no file system
defined?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
