Thank you. As this is a new install, I have not even install a virus scanner yet. I most certainly will.

The logfile should have something more specific than that - but it sounds like a timeout or some kind of write error (weird windows permissions - or writing a file too big to a FAT filesystem?). If you have enough space on the backuppc server, you might restore there with BackupPC_tarCreate |tar -x, then worry separately about how to get the results back to the windows box. If you have cygwin ssh and rsync installed that would be the obvious thing (issuing the command from the windows side) since it can restart efficiently after a problem. Or you could samba-share from the server - but you'd need something like robocopy to recover from any errors in the copy since the native windows tools won't. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
