Hi Joseph,
I am really struggling to get the LMS backup to work. I am also getting the following error now.
Backup failed on 2010/09/06 at 23:00:02. REASON: C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx/backup.LOCK file exists Most probably another backup process is running
Please assist.

Post the new dbbackup.log and the backupstatus.properties I requested in my previous post.

Hi Dedra,
I will not give you as much help as Joseph, but will provide you an idea for possible problem explanation.
Just following your sentence:
I removed all traces of mentioned line but still the same problem. Backup failed with the following message. I have noticed that all these backup fail after writing 4GB of data into the backup directory.
Are you sure you don't generate any file bigger than 4GB on a FAT32 file system support, which cannot be possible (external USB storage) ?
It could be the reason for such a error message returned from your tar.exe process....
D:/CiscoWorks_Backup/0/upm/filebackup.tarC:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\bin\tar.exe: Write error: No space left on device would be the error message returned code from this situation oversizing file maximum size.
Any simple solution would be to format your USB storage to NTFS or change backup destination to NTFS partition somewhere else for test and eliminate this supposition.
regard,
andré
