[opensuse] YaST System Backup hangs
I'm using the opensuse 10.3 in a small intranet server and I'm trying to backup data with Yast (yast2 backup). Unfortunately, when it arrives at "Create package archive 56%" it hangs. Do you know where I can find the log to understand what's happened? If Yast doesn't work which kind of simple backup tool do you suggest?

Hi, First of all, I'd check the end of /var/log/YaST2/y2log file. See http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.0/faq.html#faq_howto_log to find out how to read logs. Then you might use `ps aux` of `pstree` to check which processes were started by YaST Backup. Then you could `strace -p $pid_of_the_process` to find out what those processes are currently doing. I know, it doesn't sound very useful, but at least some hints... Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz. Sam jsem nemel v tech gratulacich jasno.
