https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185042 locilka@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED ------- Comment #11 from locilka@novell.com 2007-01-12 07:55 MST ------- - When creating backup on tape (e.g., /dev/nst0), backup profile is also appended to that location (#185042 from comment #4). - yast2-backup2.15.1 Non-rewindable tapes are not supported, that's why we can append the profile to the tape after the archive is created there. Nevertheless, neither that archive nor that profile will work in automatic restore (yast2-restore). Restore expects '.tar' of another .tar or .star archives or directories (by package-name) but the archive is already in .tar format on the tape. If you copy the archive somewhere (by tar, of course), the archive will be already extracted. Tapes were never expected to work well :) Thanks God, backup works and extraction from tape as well :) Example of extraction: `mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind` `tar -xvf /dev/nst0` info/files info/packages_info.gz info/hostname info/date info/comment info/installed_packages aaa_base-10.2-38-20070112-0.tar.gz evms-2.5.5-67-20070112-0.tar.gz fontconfig-2.4.1-19-20070112-0.tar.gz pam-0.99.6.3-24-20070112-0.tar.gz postfix-2.3.2-28-20070112-0.tar.gz qt3-3.3.7-12-20070112-0.tar.gz sane-1.0.18-34-20070112-0.tar.gz sysconfig-0.60.4-3-20070112-0.tar.gz tightvnc-1.2.9-224-20070112-0.tar.gz NOPACKAGE-20070112-0.tar.gz `tar -xvf /dev/nst0` (dividing block) `tar -xvf /dev/nst0` backup-profile.xml -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
