I need a solution
We had several backups where the tapes got full. I know this is a situation you want to avoid, but there was a period of time where there wasn't much we could do about it, and depending on the amount of data there on the day sometimes it'd finish sometimes it wouldn't.
When it failed, it has still backed up 95% of the files. I've gone to restore from one of the old tapes, it was quite a while ago so I had to import it, and the import fails saying "...tar did not find all the files to be restored". I know it can't find all the files, but what about the ones that are there? Just because a few files were missed off the end I can't believe it would invalidate the entire backup.
Does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks
Matt
