Also, what is your dumptype for that DLE? If dump, then it is filesystem- specific and a reiserfs dump won't work on ext3 and vice versa. Also, many dumps only work on entire partitions and not subdirectories. If you are using tar, then its probably a permissions problem. Is runtar setuid (and owned) appropriately (i.e., did you remember to run 'make install' as root)? Frank > TIA > > -- > S�ren Edzen, Sweden
