backup error

[Guillermo]

I get this error when i do a system backup:

Archiving /usr/: Could not perform md5 checksum, aborting...

How do i fix that?

Does md5sum work on your server?

I don't know. How can i check that?

 

[nobaloney]

Log in through a shell.

Then before changing directories run:

md5sum <filename> replacing <filename> with the name of any file in that directory.

Do you get a checksum or an error?

This is what i get:

# md5sum test.txt test1.txt
5b490901156dd56406e1ccbe3400dc95 test.txt
94544234542a7a8fa01cdfab68f07458 test1.txt

It works, and I don't know the rest of the answer . Perhaps someone else will chime in.
