#127 Issue `closed`: USB archive path error¶

Labels: support / question

I am pasting a bug report from rear-users into here for further analysis. The original author is Cal Sawyer.

I think i've uncovered a small scripting bug in prep/USB/default/06_set_usb_device.sh, which causes archive writes to the outputfs/ path to fail

local.conf, per documentation:
OUTPUT=USB
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=usb:///dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000
In prep/NETFS/default/05_check_NETFS_requirements.sh:
backuparchive is /disk1/tmp/rear.zlwSvhBIsE32725/outputfs/host.fqdn/backup.tar.gz
USB_PREFIX, as defined in 06_set_usb_device.sh:
USB_PREFIX="/rear//$(uname -n)/$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M)"
Results in 50_make_backup.sh:
opath is /disk1/tmp/rear.zlwSvhBIsE32725/outputfs//rear//host.fqdn/20120716.1515
Consequently, the tar archive step can't write to this non-existent path. Changing USB_PREFIX in 06_set_usb_device.sh to:
USB_PREFIX="$(uname -n)/$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M)"
makes opath consistent with backuparchive and the tar archive succeeds.

thanks for ReaR!

I can acknowledge both, the bug and the fix, on rear-1.13.0

I've done a complete backup/restore test with above settings with rear-1.13.0-git201207200104 with success. I did not modify any script. Please use the latest snapshot versions to correct above mentioned issue.
