But I would like to backup two single files that are off of / and I keep getting the "not a directory" error.   Appreciate any input i gather your using rsyncd to do this and using seperate share names for home rooo and etc? if so you could define a fourth share and setup a BackupFilesOnly directive like so...   $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {        'root' => ['filname1', 'filename2'],      # these are for the root share only     }; However it may not be desirabe to share at root level so heres another way... setup a cronjob to tar the files into /root, which does get backed up. Schedule it to suit your backup needs. If the files are mostly static then you probably only need to run this once a night. Hope that helps. Regards, Les
