The way the precopy script works is that it dumps all the database to a directory in the /home partition. This directory is then backedup. So if the precopy script launches for /home, finishes tar starts for /home precopy for /srv/www starts in parallel with tar /home That is when I get the problem. That is why it isn't always there, it depends on the speed of the tar/database dump Is this what is happening? If so I could add and if statement to precopy to only dump the database for /home. Is that correct? In this same line I suppose that postcopy will also get executed for each share.
