I could do that of course, but i would like to "fix" it if possible. If the native filesystem and 'rsync' are both able to deal with the file, it seems to me that backuppc should also be able to deal with it. Backup should be maximally tolerant so as to duplicate the files as permissively as possible... _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
