It sounds like your pc/HOST/backups file got trashed, perhaps because your disk was full. Check if the pc/HOST/backups.old file has useful information (although this is unlikely since it appears several backups have happened since the problem occurred. The CVS 3.x version has significant improvements in this area. All such files (eg: backups, config.pl, restores) are written and verified before renaming them, rather than naming away the old version and writing the new version as in 2.x. Also, a utility is included that can reconstruct a trashed backups file. That utility should work on 2.x backups (although it works better with 3.x backups since extra meta data is saved to make reconstructing the backups file more reliable). You could try it if you want - although I caution you that I haven't tested it on 2.x backups, and you will probably need to install 3.x CVS in a new directory to use it. It's called BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary. Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
