Example log messages from the File System Backup Coverage Report (check_coverage)
The File System Backup Coverage Report is created by running the check_coverage script. For information on check_coverage, see the comments in the script.
On Windows: The following example shows the log message that appears when files expected to be on a client are not found.
Assume that the backup selections list contains the path c:\worklist that is not present on all clients. NetBackup backs up C:\worklist on the clients where it exists.
For other clients, the Problems report or the All Log Entries report shows a message similar to the following:
9/1/14 8:28:17 AM carrot freddie Info from client freddie: TRV - object not found for file system backup: C:\worklist
This message occurs if c:\worklist is not the correct path name. For example, the directory name is c:\worklists, but c:\worklist was typed.
Note:
If the paths seem correct and the message appears, ensure that no trailing spaces appear in the paths.
On UNIX: The following table shows examples of the log messages that appear when files expected to be on a client are not found.
Table: Example UNIX log messages from the File System Backup Coverage Report
Example | Description |
|---|---|
Regular expressions or wildcards | Assume that the backup selections list contains a regular expression: /home1[0123456789] NetBackup backs up /home10 through /home19 if both exist. If they are not present, the Problems report or the All Log Entries report displays a message similar to the following: 02/02/14 20:02:33 windows freddie from client freddie: TRV - Found no matching file system for /home1[0123456789] |
Path not present on all clients or wrong path specified | Assume that the backup selections list contains a path named /worklist that is not present on all clients. NetBackup backs up /worklist on the clients where it exists. For other clients, the Problems report or the All Log Entries report displays a message similar to the following: 02/02/14 21:46:56 carrot freddie from client freddie: TRV - cannot process path /worklist: No such file or directory. Skipping This message occurs if /worklist is not the correct path name. For example, the directory name is /worklists, but /worklist was typed. Note: If the paths seem correct and the message continues to appear, ensure that no trailing spaces appear in the paths. |
Symbolic link | Assume the backup selections list names a symbolic link. NetBackup does not follow symbolic links and provides a message in the Problems report or the All Log Entries report: 02/02/14 21:46:47 carrot freddie from client freddie: WRN - /src is only being backed up as a symbolic link Resolve the symbolic link if you do not intend to back up the symbolic link itself. |
