[flexbackup-help] Differing tar command requirements

Due to the fact that one of my real machines runs FreeBSD and the others run Debian GNU/Linux, they need different tar commands. Is there any better means of dealing with the differing tars than making a symlink /bin/gtar to /bin/tar on the Debian machines? -- Phil Reynolds o mail

[flexbackup-help] Large backup job not completing automatically

is problem, as flexbackup can only be run once at any one time. If it is indeed too large, I will probably need to divide the job, and that will need some way to delay the next part until the first part is finished. If there is another cause, though, I hope it will be simple enough to fix. -- Phi

[flexbackup-help] Using p7zip

There is a p7zip wrapper on my system. This can be used as a substitute for bzip2 with tar. Assuming I make sure it is on all of my systems, can I specify it as a compress program for flexbackup to use with tar? -- Phil Reynolds mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com
