Sysadmin Field Notes

Ouch, time to change backup solutions?

September 29, 2007

Ick. Here are the results of bbouncer for SilverKeeper, which is what I use for backups:

Verifying:    basic-permissions ... ok
Verifying:           timestamps ... 
   Sub-test:    modification time ... ok
ok
Verifying:             symlinks ... ok
Verifying:    symlink-ownership ... FAIL
Verifying:            hardlinks ... FAIL
Verifying:       resource-forks ... ok
Verifying:         finder-flags ... ok
Verifying:         finder-locks ... ok
Verifying:        creation-date ... ok
Verifying:            bsd-flags ... FAIL

Verifying:          combo-tests ... 
   Sub-test:  xattrs + rsrc forks ... FAIL
   Sub-test:     lots of metadata ... FAIL

That's not particularly encouraging.
