Backup Central

Hello.

Using SUSE LINUX 10.0 - rsnapshot 1.2.1 - rsync 2.6.6

Can someone tell me why I'm getting the following error when
backing up a windows share using smbclient?

/bin/cp: target `/work/.snapshots/hourly.0/InfoServices/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/local/bin/rsnapshot hourly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: /bin/cp failed. Perhaps this is not GNU cp?
ERROR: Warning! cp_al("/work/.snapshots/hourly.1/InfoServices/", "/work/.snapshots/hourly.0/InfoServices//")

The pertinent line in the script is:

/usr/bin/smbclient //${SERVER}/${SHARE} -A ${AUTHFILE} -Tc - mgrau 2>/dev/null | tar xf -

and works fine. My configuration:

config_version 1.2
snapshot_root /work/.snapshots/
cmd_cp /bin/cp
cmd_rm /bin/rm
cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync
cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh
cmd_logger /bin/logger
cmd_du /usr/bin/du
interval hourly 6
interval daily 7
interval weekly 4
link_dest 1
verbose 2
loglevel 3
logfile /var/log/rsnapshot
du_args -csh
backup /srv/www localhost/
backup_script /root/bin/InfoServices.sh InfoServices/
backup root < at > host1.domain:/srv/www/ host1.domain/
backup root < at > host1.domain:/etc/ host1.domain/
backup root < at > host1.domain:/root/bin/ host1.domain/
backup root < at > host2.domain:/opt/oracle/scripts/ host2.domain/
backup root < at > host2.domain:/orabu/ host2.domain/

Thanks

Another answer would be to upgrade to rsnapshot 1.2.9, which should
no longer be using the trailing slashes with cp. Using gnu cp is
generally faster than using the perl code in rsnapshot to copy files,
so this would be a better long term answer.

Indeed, this fixed the problem. My thanks to all and my apologies if
my MTA inadvertently bounced anyone's reply.
