Backups

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

Hi,

Looks like you don't have the rights to create a new file in the directory you're currently in when you ran vbt.py.

Try changing the owner/group or rights on that directory, or simply switching to a directory where you have write access, and then run ./vbr.py --setupconfig again.

Thanks!
