Hi, I have some RHEL4 servers and want to set up a central backup system with a "big" harddisk. I found a very nice shell-script, doing incremental backups using tar. So I thougt, I'll mount the Backupserver-shares by NFS on the "client"-servers and run the backupscript by cron so the servers write there backupdata to the nfs shares. My problem: The tests I made where almost fine, but from time to time I do get errors: /bin/tar: /export/backup02/shares-Wed.tar: Cannot open: Input/output error /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Any ideas what coul be wrong? The Backups are about 10 GB +- up to 100 GB in the future. The second Question: Which NFS/mount/export optimisation settings are recomendet? (e.g. NFS Version, buffers...) Thanks a lot for any hints and tips!
