Backups

[binface]

Hi,

I am trying to create a backup config file as following but getting an error :


/opt/vertica/bin]$ ./vbr.py --setupconfig
Snapshot name (backup_snapshot):

with open(configFileName, 'wb') as configfile:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'backup_snapshot.ini'


Any ideas?

Cheers

Snapshot name (backup_snapshot):

Define full name for snapshot, i.e. add full path to name, otherwise it will try to create INI file in current directory (/opt/vertica/bin) and you have no permissions.

Code: Select all

$ ./vbr.py  --setupconfig
Snapshot name (backup_snapshot): /tmp/back
Backup vertica configurations? (n) [y/n]: y
Number of restore points (1): 1
Specify objects (no default): 
Vertica user name (dbadmin): dbadmin
Save password to avoid runtime prompt? (n) [y/n]: n
Node v_supportspacedb_node0001
Backup host name (no default): localhost
Backup directory (no default): /tmp
Config file name (/tmp/back.ini): 
Change advanced settings? (n) [y/n]: n
Saved vbr configuration to /tmp/back.ini.
