After many a night ripping increasing amount of hair out I think I've tracked down my problem but don't know how to solve it.
I'm trying to backup /export/home/staff on the backup server so the disklist line looks like this: localhost /export/home/staff My dump user is not amanda it's bin but when I run a backup using this user I only get about 250MB Data with no error messages. Needless to say /export/home/staff has a lot more than 250MB it's more like several GB. Now here is the interesting part: if I do a du -sk /export/home/staff it reports the 250MB so it suddenly struck me that it's only backing up 250MB because that's all the bin user has access to. This assumption may be wrong but if it's not how do I give bin access to these areas. ----------------------------------------- David Flood Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 (0)1224 262721 Robert Gordon University School of Computing St. Andrews Street Aberdeen -----------------------------------------
