I have made such changes as are necessary to allow me to ssh as root into a Windows box, with the intention of using my flexbackup setup to take backups of it. However, it does not work due to a problem with find.
I can quite happily enter the command: find . -depth -xdev ! -type s ! -regex ".*/[Cc]ache/.*" ! -regex ".*~"$ -print0 ... manually in the relevant directory and the output is right. However, when I actually try the backup job with flexbackup, this happens: flexbackup version 1.2.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net) /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK |------------------------------------------------------------ | Checking /bin/sh on this machine... bash1 | Checking shell on <<deleted>>... bash1 | Checking for required programs on host <<deleted>>...

Is there a way round this or do I need to find another way to do the whole job? I can't mount the drive over the network because it gives ERRnomem when I try to mount any share from the Windows box. -- Phil Reynolds o ____ mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
