    BACKUP_URL=file:///oracle/
  • Are you using legacy BIOS or UEFI boot? vmware virtual machine
  • Brief description of the issue:
    Relax-and-Recover had created a ISO file and other file automatically in my backup directory at 01:30 everyday
  • Work-around, if any:

dear all,
I installed "rear-2.2-5.x86_64.rpm" on suse 11 sp4,and I just want to use "rear mkbackuponly" command to backup system files.
But I found that Relax-and-Recover had created a ISO file and other file automatically in my backup directory at 01:30 everyday ,just like this:

suse159:/oracle/suse159 # ll
total 1245364
-rw------- 1 root root 202 Dec 21 01:30 README
-rw------- 1 root root 271 Dec 21 01:30 VERSION
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12654812 Dec 21 16:34 backup.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1186067109 Dec 21 16:34 backup.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 75190272 Dec 21 01:30 rear-suse159.iso
-rw------- 1 root root 60578 Dec 21 01:30 rear-suse159.log

And my local.conf file like this:
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE=( '/tmp/' '/dev/shm/' "$VAR_DIR/output/*" )
BACKUP_URL=file:///oracle/

So how can I avoid it to create rescue CD file automatically ?

thank you.!
