Sorry about the OT post, but I couldn 't find the answer to this on google
and I didn 't want to join yet another list for a single question.
I 've been using mondoarchive for awhile now for interactive backup to CD 's.
We put in a tape drive and I set it up to backup to tape every night by
writing a very simple script and putting it in /etc/cron.daily (the script
is shown below). The problem is that I get a 6k log file each morning
(apparently mondo over-writes the /var/log/mondo-archive.log file each time
it runs) and I can 't see a line that will definitely state whether the
backup has worked or failed.
I 've placed last night 's log file here:
http://www.osbi.state.ok.us/mondo-archive.txt
I *think* that the line near the bottom reading "Data archived OK " *might*
be ok, but the one a few lines above reading
"ALL ARCHIVES HAVE BEEN READ IN AND WRITTEN " might do the trick as well.
Are there any cron/tape mondo users out there?
Thanks!
Ben

# This script does a full backup of non-temporary filesystems,
# then rewinds the tape.
#
# Options below:
# -O : Do a backup, not a verify.
# F : Do not ask to make a boot floppy
# t : Backup to tape
# d /dev/st0 : Use the tape device and rewind after backup (nst0
would not rewind)
# -l GRUB : The bootloader that we 're using
# -f /dev/sda : The drive that the boot loader is on
# -E "path " : Directories to exclude from the backp.
# modified path so that mondoarchive can find mindi, etc
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
