Your / is the argument to the -s option - which should be the share defined in the backuppc config for the host. Then after that you need a pattern to match the files/directories you want to include in the tar output. So add a space and another / at the end of the command (before the > redirection) and it should work. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
