This calls for some speculation, but I can't help noticing that the parameter that follows -s is "every file name in the current directory" and not what you should be passing, which is the sharename. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your sharename probably isn't a star. If it is, you'll need to escape it to protect it from shell expansion, e.g., \*. I'm going to repeat that -- your sharename probably isn't *. > I also used : > - $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h test-host > -s * -n 0 /home/testback/test.tar (to test with a positive number...?) > - $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h test-host > -s * -n -1 (to see if it was the path I put making mess...) > > The error message is still the same : > /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad dump number '' > > What this message stands for ? I didn't found any help on Google... Let's just say that if you're filling the command line with random garbage, you can't expect a whole lot of guidance from the error message. > Thanks in advance > > Nicolas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
