Hi to all.
I'm trying to backup my volumes, and I set /vice/db/dumplist and
/vice/db/vicetab for my needs.
=============================
[root@apu-a db]# cat dumplist
7f000003 FIFIIII codafs.rootvol
7f000004 FIFIIII qmailfs.rootvol
7f000005 FIFIIII apachefs.rootvol
[root@apu-a db]# cat vicetab
apu-a /codafs/mounts/server1 ftree width=64,depth=3
fs-server-a-a /codafs/mounts/server2 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-b-a /codafs/mounts/server3 ftree width=256,depth=3

fs-server-f-a /codafs/mounts/server7 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-g-a /codafs/mounts/server8 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-h-a /codafs/mounts/server9 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-i-a /codafs/mounts/server10 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-l-a /codafs/mounts/server11 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-m-a /codafs/mounts/server12 ftree width=256,depth=3
fs-server-n-a /codafs/mounts/server13 ftree width=256,depth=3
apu-a /extra0 backup

These are my fses:

=============================
And this is the listing for my backup directory (on ext3):
=============================
[root@apu-a /]# ls -la extra0/
total 40068
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 16 17:27 ../
-r-------- 1 root root 40960000 Feb 28 15:48 journal.dat
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Feb 21 17:15 lost+found/
[root@apu-a /]#
=============================
As you can see it's empty.
But when I try to start the backup:
=============================
[root@apu-a /root]# backup -t 135 /vice/db/dumplist /extra0
Date: Wed 06/13/2001
11:44:55 Warning: the hostname of this server (apu-a.mgt.int) is not listed

5550608K free.
11:44:55 Partition /extra0: 8305048K available (minfree=5%), 8264976K free.
11:44:55 Error 'File exists' creating directory /extra0/13Jun2001.

11:44:55 Malformed partitions! Cannot prepare for dumping.
[root@apu-a /root]#
=============================
I don't understand why the backup stops: the "Error 'File exists' creating
directory /extra0/13Jun2001" has no sense, because as you've seen the
directory is empty.
But, after that command:
=============================
[root@apu-a /]# ls -la extra0
total 40076
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:44 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 16 17:27 ../
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:44 13Jun2001/
-r-------- 1 root root 40960000 Feb 28 15:48 journal.dat
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Feb 21 17:15 lost+found/
[root@apu-a /]#
=============================
The 13Jun2001/ is empty.
And, apu-a.mgt.int isn't listed in /vice/db/servers, but I didn't need it
before. My SCM (and a backup) is working with
=============================
[root@apu-a db]# cat servers
apu-a 1
fs-server-a-a 2
fs-server-b-a 3
fs-server-c-a 4
fs-server-d-a 5
fs-server-e-a 6
fs-server-f-a 7
fs-server-g-a 8
fs-server-h-a 9
fs-server-i-a 10
fs-server-l-a 11
fs-server-m-a 12
fs-server-n-a 13
apu-b 21
fs-server-a-b 22
fs-server-b-b 23
fs-server-c-b 24
fs-server-d-b 25
fs-server-e-b 26
fs-server-f-b 27
fs-server-g-b 28
fs-server-h-b 29
fs-server-i-b 30
fs-server-l-b 31
fs-server-m-b 32
fs-server-n-b 33
=============================
What I have to do?
Restart all servers? I don't want to stop them (it's a production machine):
is there a way to do a backup on a volume by hand?
Thank you

Cordiali saluti / Best regards
