Description Michal Skrivanek 2016-05-27 11:10:57 UTC 
when engine-backup is called without all the parameters it prints out errors. Also they are defined as optional but they seem to be mandatory

[root@rhel6-engine ~]# engine-backup
FATAL: --mode=<backup|restore> is missing

[root@rhel6-engine ~]# engine-backup --mode=backup
FATAL: --file is missing
readlink: missing operand
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1616: : No such file or directory
Notifying engine
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1683: : No such file or directory
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1616: : No such file or directory
FATAL: Failed notifying engine

[root@rhel6-engine ~]# engine-backup --mode=backup --file=f
FATAL: --log is missing
readlink: missing operand
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1616: : No such file or directory
Notifying engine
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1683: : No such file or directory
/usr/bin/engine-backup: line 1616: : No such file or directory
FATAL: Failed notifying engine

then once --log is added it finally works

Bug tickets must have version flags set prior to targeting them to a release. Please ask maintainer to set the correct version flags and only then set the target milestone.
