I'll point out that I distrust allowing a web application to write to the filesystem; so I don't have BackupPC set up to do restores to the filesystem. If I want to recover some files; I'll collect them up as a tarball using the web interface, copy them to the system in question, unpack them, and then move them into place after looking at things carefully. If I need to restore a whole share worth of files, I'll use BackupPC_tarCreate on the command line, and then pipe it over to the machine in question using netcat. So I've never really done what I think you're trying to do, and therefore am not much help. I do wonder why that URL is in the command line tho. The "-h localhost <http://joe.dido.ca:888/backuppc/index.cgi?host=localhost>" bit. AFAIK it should just be "-h localhost"; but I haven't done much with the new web interface so I could be just out of date. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
