Thanks for the information. I found the problem. I have reformatted the partition and somehow forgot to rerun configure.pl, and the pool directory did not exist at all. For some reason, BackupPC still backed up all my files even without the pool directory. I'll confirm this next morning after tonight's nightly run has finished, but right now it does seem it's something stupid that I've done. Perhaps BackupPC could print some error to the effect of "no pool directory found" instead of zero files in the pool, in case someone (maybe me again) does this stupid thing again in the future. > Craig > Thanks again -- cheers, -ambrose ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
