As I understand it, it would only work for a UFS file system, not HFS. And we couldn't find the restore program. Which makes dump kind of useless :-). > I haven't been able to get the server side to work, it >can't find start_time ...

You may need to change the list of regular expressions in sendsize*.c and sendbackup*.c, but I thought this problem had been taken care of. What version of Amanda are you working with? What version of Samba? What are the "strange" lines it's reporting? >Is it samba or gnutar putting out the messages? ... It's Samba. Gnu tar is not used for Samba/PC backups. Samba comes with its own tar. >Paul. John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
