Hi all. I'm new to the list, but i have a very important question. I've set up a backup server with backuppc and till yesterday was woring very well. Yesterday it had a porblem with the raid card (3ware) and it lost the root partition...don't ask me why...but it happened (we're at the moment searching a replacement). But untill we find a new server, i wanted to restore a backup that i made with backuppc on the same server but on another partition. I've installed a minimal linux configuration, installed backuppc, configured backuppc to get the datas from the other partition and then make a tar file of the whole / dir. It made it, but when i tried to install that backup on the server, it gave me problems aboout some files not found:
tar: ./sbin/e2label: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/findfs': No such file or directory ./sbin/fsck.ext2 tar: ./sbin/fsck.ext2: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/e2fsck': No such file or directory ./sbin/fsck.ext3 tar: ./sbin/fsck.ext3: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/e2fsck': No such file or directory ./sbin/ifup tar: ./sbin/ifup: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/ifdown': No such file or directory ./sbin/mke2fs tar: ./sbin/mke2fs: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/mkfs.ext3': No such file or directory ./sbin/mkfs.ext2 tar: ./sbin/mkfs.ext2: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/mkfs.ext3': No such file or directory ./sbin/tune2fs tar: ./sbin/tune2fs: Cannot hard link to `.sbin/findfs': No such file or directory So i couldn'd do a full restore...i had to install everything new and copy the confs. Why these hard link errors? Is there a special tar command to use? Thanks for the advices.
