I don't know if I am the only person who has issues with mythbackup but I have had to fix it in both A12 and A16 so I thought I better get off my lazy ass and bost the diffs.
My problems were that it would not back up the etc, home, and root directories, the backup files were empty due to it not finding them. The other problem was that it was not making etc.bak or home.bak, this was due to the syntax not acounting for the files being gziped. I also added some lines to make a mythtv.tar.bz.bak as there wasn't one, I also created a variable for this rather than using the text.
I have been using knoppmyth for over 12months now and have had to fight with the avermedia 771 cards I have, the A16 install was a dream compaired the the R4 or A12 install
.
I am no linux expert so I may have done something wrong but it works for me, I don't know why I can't find anyone else with these issues, I am sure I am not doing anything different, but if you can tell me why it didn't work without being modded please let me know.
Cheers,
Beau
