I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this - the downside of open source. Note, though, that a full backup /will/ succeed. The incremental before and after, though, fails immediately. This is without making any changes (aside from yum hosing my environment...). Why would BackupPC not be setting up to use -N, as Victor notes above? I checked the smbclient man page for Fedora FC-3 (gee, for once it's useful to have an older OS), and those options do not seem to have changed - even the environment variable is the same. I changed /etc/init.d/backuppc to include the above env setup, and it did not work after restarting the backuppc service. There is even a comment regarding this in the startup script - but those instructions did not work either. Still looking here, but I don't have time for this stuff right now :-( Bill Hudacek > -- > Víctor A.
