The writing steps for any text data file in BackupPC (eg: config.pl, backups, restores etc) is: - open config.new for writing - write the new file contents - close the file - open config.new for reading - read the contents - close the file - if the contents match, then rename config.pl to config.pl.old and rename config.pl.new to config.pl. - otherwise, print the error that you see and leave the config.pl.new file as is. Could the file system be full? Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
