It's not a logfile, it's to prevent to start 2 daemon's (services) at ones.

I had some problems when I had a few minutes time to test it on Vista, could you tell me something about the version of Vista used and how you used it...? I had 2 problems: 1. Windows complained about some permissions during 'mounting' of the VSS-volume, but I didn't run it as a Windows service (which means user would be: system, instead of administrator) 2. I did see problems with rsyncing the /Users directory, links were not handled properly, but maybe the default settings passed on from backuppc prevented that problem. I wouldn't be surprised if it enabled the -H (hardlinks) feature, as backuppc also uses hardlinks for storage. I think I'll have to find some time with a Vista laptop soon and test again and see if my problems can be prevented by running it that way. > I found that if you manually delete the pid file, then it should work > fine.

That would also be my first thought on that matter. Although when I test/run it on the commandline, everytime I kill it with control-C it works perfectly. Maybe it was Vista specific ? Hmm, I guess I'll have to take a good look at that as wel. > Regards, > Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
