Topic: Flexbackup problems.

[philippe peltier]

Hello,
I'm using flexbackup on a 5.5 server and have problems.

First when I save for instance /boot, everything gets ok at the beginning, but when the backup ends, I get this message :
|------------------------------------------------
| Backup start: mar mai 27 09:02:38 2003
| Backup end:   mar mai 27 09:03:34 2003
touch: invalid date format mar mai 27 09:02:38 2003' <========= HERE
|------------------------------------------------
At block 0.
|------------------------------------------------
| Rewinding...
| Compressing log (boot.0.20030527.gz)
| Linking boot.latest.gz -> boot.0.20030527.gz
|------------------------------------------------
(My server has french date format)

Then when I try to list the tape, I get this error :

#flexbackup -list

flexbackup version 0.9.8
/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK

|------------------------------------------------
| Reading from current tape position
|------------------------------------------------

|------------------------------------------------

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
restore: Tape read error on first record
Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from file/pipe
|------------------------------------------------

|------------------------------------------------

although I saved in dump format...

and I'm not able to restore anything...

I really need help...

Thanks in advance to my savior to be )
