hi
i am trying to configure AFS BaCKUP sYstem to take backup on
file.
for file name i am creating a link /dev/FILE which points to the
actual data file , i have included MOUNT instruction in data
file
configuration file (CFG_FILE) , so when i dump the volume set
then
ideally according to the MOUNT script first of all the /dev/FILE
link
should be removed and then it should create backup data file of
name
${tapename}_${tapeid} but it is not removing the previous link and
is
taking backup on the file linked through the previous link and
then
creating new links for further dumping.
the script is
#! /bin/csh -f
set devicefile = $1
set operation = $2
set tries = $3
set tapename = $4
set tapeid = $5
set exit_continue = 0
set exit_abort = 1
set exit_interactive = 2
#--------------------------------------------
if (${tries} > 1) then
echo "Too many tries"
exit ${exit_interactive}
endif
if (${operation} == "labeltape") then
echo "Won't label a tape/file"
exit ${exit_abort}
endif
if ((${operation} == "dump") |\
(${operation} == "appenddump") |\
(${operation} == "restore") |\
(${operation} == "savedb") |\
(${operation} == "restoredb")) then
/bin/rm -f ${devicefile}
/bin/ln -s /hsm/${tapename}_${tapeid} ${devicefile}
# if (${status} != 0) exit ${exit_abort}
endif
exit ${exit_continue}
i have removed "status" line because it was giving error as that
variable is not defined,is that creating the problem.
