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 --------------------- #!/bin/bash # bash shell script to do a full backup to tape # 21 January 2004 - Benjamin J.
