BackupPC_nightly (which deletes files from the pool that are no longer needed) and BackupPC_link (which links duplicate files to the pool) can't run at the same time. If you have a number of BackupPC_link processes waiting to run (configurable via the "MaxPendingCmds" option), no more backups will start. How long does your BackupPC_nightly take to run? Perhaps you would be better off setting "BackupPCNightlyPeriod" > 1. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
