Note that deleting old backups is only going to release the space of files that were different or deleted. You can use BackupPC_tarCreate to make a tar image for archive storage, specifying the host and backup number: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#Command-line-restore-options Or simply select it in the web interface and download a tar copy through the browser, saving it on your mapped NAS - although at least some versions of IE may download to a temp location first instead of where you tell it to save the file and some versions of things may have size limitations. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
