Re: [flexbackup-help] Backup to a remote directory?
What's the format of your external directory? How is windows seeing that directory?

can you confirm from your dmesg that it is connected? even if 2 days ago you were able to connect, doesn't mean it's still connecting now.

Re: [flexbackup-help] Using p7zip
you should be able to as long as triggers are all the same. Otherwise you can always create a simple permanent alias for it.

Re: [flexbackup-help] flexbackup error
If root has trouble with the file, I would definitely look into what/who created that file and see what can be done. In the meantime I'll look up some of my flexbackup scripts and see if I can figure out an exception rule. On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 12:58 AM, Andrew I.
