Could you try bash -n /usr/share/rear/lib/bootloader-functions.sh and run bash --version. It could be that some code is not working with older bash versions?

Is this a really old SUSE system? Please post the result of "lsb-release
-a" and "uname -a"

SLES9 is supposed to work, though it has been a couple of years since I met anybody still using it (and I am sure you have your good reasons for it).

I could imagine that Bash 2 does not know about =~ which is used in several places. To confirm you can try to run [[ foo =~ f ]] && echo yes

Do you need any of our new and fancy features? If not then I you could try downgrading ReaR to one of the 1.9 or 1.7 versions or even before (e.g. from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rear/files/rear/).

Another alternative is to replace all occurences of =~ in the code with something using expr, like

if [[ "$BACKUP_SELINUX_DISABLE" =~ ^[yY1] ]]; then

will be

if expr "$BACKUP_SELINUX_DISABLE" : ^[yY1] ; then

If that works and no other problems arise then I think that we should discuss if we want to keep supporting SLES9 in recent ReaR.

tnks, i install the version 1.9, only change the execute line:

/usr/sbin/rear -d mkbackup

and works

Nice. Be sure to also test the recovery :-)
