I am using crontab to schedule my backups:
00 21 * * 1 /usr/local/backup.com
00 21 * * 2 /usr/local/backup_scratch1.com
00 21 * * 3 /usr/local/backup_scratch2.com
00 21 * * 4 /usr/local/backup_scratch3.com
00 21 * * 5 /usr/local/backup_scratch4.com
The backup_scratch*.com file looks like this:
/sbin/vdump -Duf /dev/rmt0m /usr/mountdir/scratch3
exit 0
Most of my backups take two tapes now, it will not ask me for another tape
- I get this error:
vdump: out of space and unable to prompt input for a new tape: [25] Not a
typewriter.
Is there some parameter that I am missing?? When I run the backups
manually, I will get the message to mount another tape and when I mount
another one the backup continues. It is just when backups run with
crontab.
Thanks for all your help.
