I'm having a problem (?) using fbackup for nightly incremental backups. I'm having no serious problems --- the backup works fine --- but I constantly (every night) get the following error message from cron: fbackup(1004): session begins on Fri Aug 25 01:30:01 1989 fbackup(1506): could not stat file grmd fbackup(3212): writing volume 1 to the output file - Cron runs the following shell script for root: /etc/fbackup -u5f - -g /usr/adm/fbackupfiles/graphfile -I /usr/adm/fbackupfiles/incr.index | tcio -o /dev/rct/c0 The graphfile is this: i /users i /usr/adm i /usr/mail i /usr/preserve i /usr/spool Grmd is listed in the file system as: -r-sr-sr-x 1 daemon sys 40972 Feb 17 1989 /usr/lib/grmd I'm running a multi-user HP9000/350 with HP-UX 6.5 and no-one on the system (typically) when fbackup runs. I suppose it's more of an irritant than anything, but it shouldn't (?) be happening. I haven't been able to find the appropriate references in the manuals, and I don't even know what grmd does (especially in conjunction with fbackup). If anyone could give me some pointers, I'd appreciate it. John louxj@jacobs.cs.orst.edu solvint!john@orstcs.cs.orst.edu hp-pcd!orstcs!solvint!john
