Re: [MLUG] backup via cron

[Daniel Nowlin <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I tried with and without the BASH bang and paths.  I have the job 
running as root.  It will not even run when I run it with ./ as root.
Here is the error I get:

[EMAIL:PROTECTED bash]# ./files_bkup
WARNING: /dev/dvd already carries isofs!
| builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'files
INFO:ingUTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.
       Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
       use -input-charset to override.
mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node - /var/ftp/files
:-( write failed: Input/output error

It ran just fine in the past but my DVD drive bit the dust and I think 
before I got it replaced DVDTools was updated.
