I finally made it work! |
| 19 |
It turned out that a coworker who has no business on the backup-server |
| 20 |
had changed some essential system settings and deleted some symlinks to |
| 21 |
the mtx and mt commands that I use to load and unload the tapes. This |
| 22 |
resulted in tar failing because the tapes never where loaded correctly. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
When running from bash the path where OK and everything worked but the |
| 25 |
path in the cronjob weren't enough and the symlinks that I had created |
| 26 |
was gone. |

Thanks to everyone for helping me out! |

The coworker is now talking and walking funny. |
