Jason-

 

Not sure about your 2nd question, but I do know how to fix the first one.  I had the same problem.

 

You’ll need to modify the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n

Make a backup of it first in case something goes wrong.  I didn’t have any problems though.

Change to LANG=”en_US.iso885915” and SUPPORTED=”en_US.iso885915:en_US:en”

 

The file en_US.iso885915 is located here: /usr/lib/locale/

Subject: network backups with tar

 

Hello,

 

1) When I do a man page on 'tar', the screen comes up all garbled. I believe

     this was discussed on the list a while back, but I can't seem to find those mails

     that will shed some insight on why this is happening. Does this have something to

     do with the $TERM variable?

 

2) I am using 'tar' to create a backup of a directory structure to another Linux server

    on the same LAN. Here is a screen dump:

 

#  tar   -cvzf   -f  209.212.123.157:/usr/backups /tmp/testdir

 

Gives this output


tar: 209.212.123.157\:/usr/backups: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tmp/testdir/
tmp/testdir/testfile1
tmp/testdir/testfile2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
 

I am trying to backup the directory /tmp/testdir and copy the archive onto the

server substituted by the IP address 'IP'. Where am I going wrong here? 

 

Regards, Jason
