What was the error? Same?
I take it doing a cd before the command and omitting --directory
worked?
Thanks.
Hello Eric,
Yes when I've change the script to:
==========
cd $backupdest
tar -C $backupdest \
-czf $backupdest/$curlfile $DATENAME-* > /dev/null 2>&1
==========
The script worked correctly.
It look like the last $DATENAME-* don't work with the tar command on
this way.
$ touch /tmp/testfile.txt
$ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile*
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
While it will work when I use the next command
$ tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile.txt
There are more backup files not correct:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 Apr 7 06:35
201404070635-squirrelmail-plugins.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 Apr 7 06:35
201404070635-squirrelmail-prefs.tar.bz2
These to are empty tar files.
Regards,
Peter

That's very strange to me. Using the -C option is supposed to be
preferable to doing a cd before the tar command.
Would someone care to look into this in detail? This needs to be
fixed
so that it works on both COS5 and COS6. It might be a while before I
get to look at it, as what time I have is being spent on finishing up
the COS6 release.
Thanks.
Hi Eric,
It looks like a issue with the combination between shell and tar:
<http://superuser.com/questions/266422/tar-c-with-a-wildcard-file-pattern>
Does it work on your CentOS 6 system, because I've test it on one
of my
CentOS 6.5 systems and the result is:
# ls -l /tmp/testfile.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 7 21:41 /tmp/testfile.txt
# tar -C /tmp -czf /tmp/test.tgz testfile*
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Regards,
Peter

I should've caught that.
Does "testfile*" work?
(putting the string with wildcard in quotes)
I expect it will.
Hi Eric,
Sorry but on both of my systems it don't work:
CentOS 5.10:
# touch /tmp/testfile.txt
# tar -C /tmp -zcvf /tmp/testbackup.tgz "testfile*"
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
On CentOS 6.5:
# touch /tmp/testfile.txt
# tar -C /tmp -zcvf /tmp/testbackup.tgz "testfile*"
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Regards,
Peter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What about with single quotes? e.g.:
'testfile*'
Still the same.
CentOS 5.10:
# tar -C /tmp -zcvf /tmp/testbackup.tgz 'testfile*'
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
CentOS 6.5:
# tar -C /tmp -zcvf /tmp/testbackup.tgz 'testfile*'
tar: testfile*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Ok, I think I've fixed both backup and restore scripts now, including
the squirrelmail prefs.
Please try scripts in qtp svn repo:
http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/trac/export/178/bin/qtp-backup
http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/trac/export/178/bin/qtp-restore
If they work I'll cut another qtp release.
Thanks. Your help is greatly appreciated.
