I am 100% confident that the syslog messages are kernel alerts of some kind caused by image-backup. It is repeatable everytime I run the backup.I just noticed that my monthly backup did not run. When I investigated and tried to run the command by hand. I get the following error. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
It appears that image-backup ran to successful completion and the image file is likely intact (image-check and image-compare will probably confirm this).
I've never seen syslogd messages issued after image-backup completes and have no idea what their origin or cause is. These messages are not from image-backup.
image-backup is not completing succesfully. Here is the script that is being used to run it and as you can see form the original post the Echo statement indicating completion of the backup is not executed.
