I did a test backup with it and i worked fine. Now today i wanted to continue testing but i kept getting this error report in the logfile of the afbackup server Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Command 87 ('W') failed (writing to tape failed.) Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Command Error: device is not open for writing. Mon Dec 9 16:44:25 2002, Error: Connection to client lost. Exiting. Mon Dec 9 16:44:28 2002, Exiting with bad status 1, current error: No such file or directory now with "device" i assume it means my tape unit (/dev/sa0) so i placed a new tape in it and used "mt -f /dev/sa0 erase" to clean it. This went well but when i restarted the backup afterwards i got the same error. and i just can't seem to figure out what directory/file it can't find the client logfiles say Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Server Error: setting the file failed. Mon Dec 9 16:44:30 2002, Full backup finished. Mon Dec 9 16:44:31 2002, Warning: Minor errors occurred during backup. See the logfile `/var/log/client.backup.log' for more details. I installed afbackup from the ports collection, these are the versions afbackup-client-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system afbackup-server-3.3.5_2 AF's backup system the afbackup server is running FreeBSD 4.5 release-p22 the afbackup client is running FreeBSD 4.7 release-p2 A does anyone know what is going wrong and how i can fix this?
