i'm doing something similar, but mounting a smb fs. After smb mount, i use rsync (not TAR) on this folder. I've edited RsyncClientCmd to: $rsyncPath $argList+ and ClientNameAlias to: 127.0.0.1 Hope this helps Regards M ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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/
