Hi guys,
I am still having problems with afbackup. This probably isn't the right
place to ask for help but I was hoping one of you might have already dealt
with this problem.
I am using my hamm system as the backup server. Two Solaris machines are
backup clients. The problem I am having is with remote starts. I can
start a backup to the backup server (hamm machine) from the Solaris backup
clients just run by running {full,incr}_backup but I can't remote start a
backup on the Solaris clients from the backup server. For example, I use
the following command on the server to start a remote backup:
afclient -X full_backup -h remote_host -k /etc/afbackup/cryptkey
but I get the following error on the server:
Server Error: device has not been opened for writing.
The server log says the following:
mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
However, if I "remote start" a backup on the localhost, i.e. the server
machine, as follows:
afclient -X full_backup -h localhost -k /etc/afbackup/cryptkey
the backup works fine. What's the deal? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ossama
