G'day all,

I believe there is a bug in mythbackup

The following...
Quote:
# Tars newer part of /etc
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_ETC" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC $BK_DIR/${BK_ETC}.bak
find ./etc ! -type d -newer /etc/.epoch | xargs tar -uf $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_ETC" ] && gzip -9 $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC
# Tars newer part of /home
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_HME" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_HME $BK_DIR/${BK_HME}.bak
find ./home ! -type d -newer /home/.epoch | xargs tar -uf $BK_DIR/$BK_HME
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_HME" ] && gzip -9 $BK_DIR/$BK_HME
# Tars all of /root
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_GOD" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_GOD $BK_DIR/${BK_GOD}.bak
tar czf $BK_DIR/$BK_GOD ./root


Should be... (no . in front of /etc /home /root)
Quote:
# Tars newer part of /etc
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_ETC" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC $BK_DIR/${BK_ETC}.bak
find /etc ! -type d -newer /etc/.epoch | xargs tar -uf $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_ETC" ] && gzip -9 $BK_DIR/$BK_ETC
# Tars newer part of /home
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_HME" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_HME $BK_DIR/${BK_HME}.bak
find /home ! -type d -newer /home/.epoch | xargs tar -uf $BK_DIR/$BK_HME
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_HME" ] && gzip -9 $BK_DIR/$BK_HME
# Tars all of /root
[ -f "$BK_DIR/$BK_GOD" ] && mv -f $BK_DIR/$BK_GOD $BK_DIR/${BK_GOD}.bak
tar czf $BK_DIR/$BK_GOD /root



Or you need to add
Quote:
cd /

before
# back up the old back, if present:

I did cd /

Yeah, it's a really old bug, moving the "cd /" is the simplest fix.
