Hi, I wrote a script which uses tar to backup a filesystem to a Seagate DAT. If I run the script from the shell it works fine, but when started by cron (as root) I get this:
tar (grandchild): gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now /dev/nst0: Device or resource busy The command which causes this error is 'tar -czf /dev/nst0 ...'. The same error happenes if I use bzip2 (tar -j). Not using compression at all solves the problem, but I'd really like to store the data compressed... Any hints?
