- I don't imagine this is a terrible problem, but..
- I run incremental backups every evening, with a full backup once a week.
- I do this for my root disk (/) and my users disk (/users), using two DDS DAT
- tapes. I schedule them through sam. Here are the results it mails me:

- What puzzles me is the 'apparent' problem that it's reporting. It seems to
- backup fine, but will I be able to reliably recover everything if I need to?
- Does anyone see anything wrong here?
-
- I would appreciate your comments..
-
- BTW, this is using a newer version of fbackup than what comes with the 8.07
- release.. By no surprise, everyone at HP has seen fit to abandon me until
- next week, so I can't get my 9.0 CD-ROM and I can't get anyone to come
- look at my sick SCSI controller.. >:(
