FSbusplit

Error FSbusplit: Couldn't change to directory <directory>
Reason FSbusplit was unable to change to <directory>.
Solution Check that the directory exists and is accessible.

Error FSbusplit: Couldn't change to directory <directory>
Reason FSbusplit was unable to change to <directory>.
Solution Check that the directory exists and is accessible.

Error FSbusplit: Couldn't read file <file>
Reason FSbusplit was unable to access the specified file.
Solution Check that the file exists and is accessible.

Error Partition size not specified. Aborting.
Reason FSbusplit requires specifying a partition size.
Solution Check that the partition size is specified with the -P flag.

Error WARNING: -s or -S flags only allowed in selected file backup
WARNING: Flags ignored
Reason File selection flags -s or -S can only be specified when performing a selected file backup.
Solution Only specify these flags if you are performing a selected backup.

Error WARNING: Couldn't access <directory>/.FSbackup
WARNING: Defaulting to FULL backup
Reason Performing an incremental backup relies on having access to a file called .FSbackup in the root of the directory to be backed up. You will get this message if this file does not exist or is not readable.
Solution Check that the file exists and is readable.

Error WARNING: Couldn't write to directory <directory>
WARNING: Defaulting to FULL backup
Reason Performing an incremental backup relies on having write access to the directory being backed up. You will get this message if the SYSTEM account cannot write to the specified directory.
Solution Allow the SYSTEM account to have write access to the specified directory.

FSntcpio

Error FSntcpio: Couldn't change to directory <directory>
Reason FSntcpio was unable to change to the specified directory.
Solution Check that the directory exists and is accessible.

Error FSntcpio: Couldn't read file <file>
Reason FSntcpio was unable to access the specified file.
Solution Check that the file exists and is accessible.

Error WARNING: -s or -S flags only allowed in selected file backup, flags ignored
Reason File selection flags -s or -S can only be specified when performing a selected file backup.
Solution Only specify these flags if you are performing a selected backup.

Error WARNING: Couldn't access <directory>/.FSbackup
WARNING: Defaulting to FULL backup
Reason Performing an incremental backup relies on having access to a file called .FSbackup in the root of the directory to be backed up. You will get this message if this file does not exist or is not readable.
Solution Check that the file exists and is readable.

Error WARNING: Read-only backup - defaulting to FULL backup
Reason Performing an incremental backup relies on having write access to the directory being backed up. You will get this message if the SYSTEM account cannot write to the specified directory.
Solution Allow the SYSTEM account to have write access to the specified directory.

FSregback

Error Couldn't find ebc.dat
Reason Sregback uses ntcpio to recover the ebc.dat file. This file contains details of the registry keys backed up. This error will occur if ntcpio reports that it was successful, but the ebc.dat file was not recovered.
Solution Check that the tape contains a valid registry backup and is not corrupt.

Error Error: <directory> directory already exists
Reason In order to perform a registry backup or restore a temporary directory must be created. FSregback will fail if this directory already exists.
Solution It is likely that the directory is left over from a previous registry backup or recovery. If this is the case, remove the directory.

Error Failed to backup profiles
Reason Once the profile list has been determined, FSregback attempts to backup the profile directories using ntcpio. This error occurs if ntcpio fails to backup these directories.
Solution Check for other error messages from the ntcpio command.

Error Failed to backup registry
Reason Once the registry has been dumped to file, FSregback attempts to back these files up using ntcpio. This error occurs if ntcpio fails to backup these files.
Solution Check for other error messages from the ntcpio command.

Error Failed to output profiles
Reason FSregback calls regback to output the list of profiles to be backed up. This error occurs if regback returns a non zero exit status.
Solution Check for other error messages from the regback command.

Error Failed to output registry
Reason FSregback calls regback to output the registry. This error occurs if regback returns a non zero exit status.
Solution Check for other error messages from the regback command.

Error Failed to recover profile(s)
Reason For a profile recovery, the data is recovered using ntcpio. If ntcpio fails for any reason, this error will occur.
Solution It is possible that the data is corrupt. Check for ntcpio error messages.

Error Failed to recover registry
Reason For a registry restore, the data must first be extracted from tape and saved to file. This is done by the ntcpio command. Also regback is used to restore the keys from file. If ntcpio or regback fail for any reason, this error will occur.
Solution It is possible that the data is corrupt. Check for ntcpio and regback error messages.

Error Failed to recover registry header
Reason For an index to be generated, FSregback uses ntcpio to recover the ebc.dat file. This file contains details of the registry keys backed up. This error will occur if ntcpio failed to recover this file.
Solution It is possible that the data is corrupt. Check for ntcpio and regback error messages.

Error Unable to change to <directory>
Reason To perform a registry backup or restore FSregback must change to <directory>. Failure to change to this directory will result in this error.
Solution Check that the directory exists and is accessible



^

FSremote

Error APPL_NAME not set
Reason In order for the FSremote command to be run in the correct environment, the variable APPL_NAME must be set. APPL_NAME can be set to either backup or task.
Solution Set the variable APPL_NAME to either backup or task.

Error Could not determine EWC home directory
Reason In order for the FSremote command to be run, the variable APPL_HOME must be set. APPL_HOME points to the root directory of the Enterprise Windows Client.
Solution Set the variable APPL_HOME to point to the location of the Enterprise Windows Client.

e.g. C:/Program Files/Functional Software/EWC_3.1


Error Could not determine hostname
Reason Was unable to determine the hostname. The hostname is required to check if the command is to be run locally or remotely.
Solution Check that the hostname is set correctly.

Error Could not find comm_meth file
Reason The syntax for the remote command is retrieved from a file called comm_meth in the db directory of the Enterprise Windows Client. This file could not be found.
Solution Check that the Enterprise Windows Client was installed correctly and that this file exists and is accessible.

Error Could not find communications method
Reason The file comm_meth in the db directory of the Enterprise Windows Client does not contain the communications method.
Solution Check the contents of the comm_meth file for the existence of a communications command.

Error Couldn't connect to host "<host>"
Reason FSremote was unable to connect to the specified host.
Solution Check that the specified host is valid. Also check that local host has been configured to known about the specified host.

Error Couldn't connect to COSserver on "<host>"
Reason FSremote was unable to connect to the remote socket up to five times before giving up. The remote server is probably too overloaded.
Solution Check that the specified host is running normally.

Error Couldn't establish remote exist status from host "<host>"
Reason FSremote was unable to determine the exit status of the command that was run on the remote host.
