| ==File not Found error (Mac client)==

| 1. I'm using the SWCP backup service on a Mac and it's telling me
| |
| "File not Found File or directory not Found, (ErrorCode:-43)"
| |
| What's going on? How do I find out what file?
| |
| | |
| There is a log file that the OBM client creates in your home directory.
| |
| If you are backing up your home directory (alway a good idea!) then it
| |
| will try to back up a file that it creates temporarily. It was there
| |
| when it got a directory listing, but was gone before it could be backed up.
| |
| The easiest way to fix this problem is to exclude the directory .obm
| |
| in your backup client. This is a subdirectory of your home directory.
| |
| For example if your logname is jay, this directory is /Users/jay/.obm
| |
| | |
| To find out the name of the file it couldn't find, you'll need to know a
| |
| little about Unix, the underlying OS that MacOS X is based on.
| |
| | |
| In Terminal, do "New Shell".
| |
| You'll be in your home directory now.
| |
| | |
| cd .obm/log
| |
| change to subdirectory .obm, then to subdirectory log.
| |
| ls
| |
| list files
| |
| You should see a directory with a numeric name, like 122310381987
| |
| Change to that directory, i.e.
| |
| cd 122310381987
| |
| ls
| |
| Now you'll see log files for each time your backup software has
| |
| run. They look like "2008-11-18-01-07-01.log"
| |
| To view one you can run the 'more' program, i.e.
| |
| more 2008-11-18-01-07-01.log
| |
| | |
| This will allow you to page through the backup log until you find the
| |
| missing file error. This log will tell you which file it was.
