I hadn't thought about the file system being full. After checking just now, this is not the answer. /var/lib has 48G available on my main hard drive. /var/lib/backuppc, to which the spare hard drive is mounted, has 59G available. The directory /var/lib/backuppc/log is owned by backuppc and is in the backuppc group. Its permission is 750. All files in it also are owned by backuppc and are in the backuppc group. They all have 640 permission. Winston ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
