Problem Description
|
|
When starting a backup operation, I receive the message "Cannot Make Backup Bootable -- Aborting!", with an exit code of 53.
|
|
Cause
|
|
You are trying to make a backup that is bootable, but you have not yet performed all the steps necessary to do so.
Usually the log file /usr/lib/edge/lists/LogFile will contain additional information.
|
|
Solution
|
|
When you elect to make a backup bootable through edgemenu or the Advanced Properties tab of a Scheduled Job, you must first do several things:
1. You must run RecoverEDGE to create the appropriate boot image for the type of archive device you're using.
2. If you are making HP-OBDR(tm) bootable backup tapes, you must set the Tape Block Size (NOT the Edge Block Size) to 2048.
