I can't seem to get taper to do backups under cron. I have created a
file set and saved it under tapers interactive interface and my cron
line for the root account is:
1 0 * * 0,1,3,5 /sbin/taper -U @full
When it runs it starts but soon fails. Taper emails the root account a
list of all the files/directories marked for inclusion and then fails
with:
Backup commenced at Sun Oct 4 00:01:36 1998
Unable to start backup child
Backup ABORTED
Backup finished at Sun Oct 4 00:15:51 1998
Then the cron daemon emails root with
Unable to start backup child
sh: /var/tmp/taper15707aaa: No such file or directory
I can run '/sbin/taper -U @full' from the root command line and it works
just fine. What is happening such that it is failing from cron?
Thanks,

Brian
