reboots while backing up
Hi all I have a new server which has 2 scsi tapes attched to it and a backup package called sitback which uses the common tar/cpio commands to facilitate backups. I am using it to back up database files on a AIX system which has it's files shared through samba. To access the files i use the command mount -t smbfs //aixserver/share /mountpoint. 5 minutes into the backup... the backup server reboots!!! why is this happening?? I have checked the messages, syslog files but they do not contain any relevant info related to the reboot. Perhaps I need a better backup package, or perhaps backing up samba shares is not a good idea. Any ideas??? thanx Zane
Re: reboots while backing up
I just checked, sitback isn't in woody... is it a debian package?? Anyway, is it a script?? If it is, I guess you add some commands to see where it reboots... (I would do this by adding echo lines).

Re: reboots while backing up
It is for no specific distribution : sitback is only available as a source tar-ball that uses Gnu automake/autoconf.

Re: reboots while backing up
you can get it from http://www.mrbean.dk/sitback; i can backup the local /usr directory fine which is about 660MB but it reboots when it tries to backup an AIX samba shared directory of about 2Gig worth. Weird. Pperhaps i should try nfs sharing the AIX directory instead of samba sharing it.
