I run tarsnap every day from cron on my Linux laptop using th following command:
tarsnap -v --cachedir=/tmp/tarsnap/ --keyfile=/root/tarsnap.key -c -f aaronhome-$(date +%Y%M%d) --exclude cellmedia --exclude code --exclude download --exclude docs --exclude iso --exclude *cache* --exclude *Cache* --exclude *Trash* --exclude *trash* /home/aaron/
Every night it spits out the following message:
tarsnap: Sequence number mismatch: Run --fsck
tarsnap: Error creating new archive
So I run:
tarsnap -v --cachedir=/tmp/tarsnap/ --fsck --keyfile=/root/tarsnap.key --exclude cellmedia --exclude code --exclude download --exclude docs --exclude iso --exclude *cache* --exclude *Cache* --exclude *Trash* --exclude *trash* /home/aaron/
It runs through the check without any error messages, and I am able to manually run the cronjob to take a backup for the day. The next morning it fails again with the same errors.
What am I missing? :)
