tbtape reports wrong archive date.
Posted in 1997
Recently I've noticed that my archive utility reports wrong time or even date of the archive done. I run tbtape -s from cron doing backup at night and redirecting the output msgs to a file. The system starts backup at 4:30 am through cron but in the tbtape reports 3:30 am (see the file I am attaching bellow). Sometimes it even shows previous day! Also the utility always starts showing the percentage done with 17% and finishes with 66% . I do not recall having such problems with my old Online 4.1. Now I have 5.07 installed. Any ideas, where tbtape gets the archive date?
