I'm not sure what you mean... the program should work with any number of links. If there is a missing use case, please explain so I can fix it.

It's been a while since I wrote the program... but I think that not being able to read the size is a true error case and I would wonder why the attrib file is not including the filesize entry. As far as I recall, every file backed up should be listed in the attrib file and the size is one of the basic features that should always be recorded. Are your attrib files corrupted? Can you look at the attrib file and see what might be wrong and/or different about that file? If those are 'normal', perhaps there is something wrong with my code... > Or is that something that should be: fixed? I'm not really clear on > what the problem is. I actually wrote the warning more as belt-and-suspenders since that case should only appear if your attrib file is corrupted (unless I am not understanding something about BackupPC attrib files) -- to tell the truth, I don't believe I ever encountered this error on *real* data. I don't think it would be a good idea to add to BackuPC_fixLinks to fix bad attrib files. The "beauty" of this program is that it is all about detecting and fixing bad *links* per its name. One could easily write another program to check attrib files for integrity and fix where broken (Actually, size is probably the only piece of redundant information since it is also calculable from the actual file). Note also that BackupPC_fixLinks wasn't designed to detect (let alone) fix inconsistent attrib content and indeed it only even looks at the attrib file for size information as a shortcut for files ~>1MB so that it doesn't have to decompress the cpool. Let me know if this answers your question or if I misunderstood what you were requesting... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
