our back-up script does several things:
#1) calls a shell script which sends an email announcing that the backup is beginning
#2) erases a secondary drive
#3) clones drive #1 to the now erased secondary drive
#4) creates an ASR image of the secondary drive
#5) calls a shell script to send an email announcing back up is complete.
the process is locked at step #4 for no stated reason. i reformatted the back-up drive, zeroed it out and re-ran the script. it still fails at step four. and, if i try to simply create an image of the mounted back-up drive without the whole script, it still fails. it USED to work just fine. now it does not and nothing has changed on that machine. i could use some help with this, please!
the error log shows the problem as an unknown error!
thanks,
