It isn't clear to me exactly what you're doing here, but I thought it might be worth a mention that if you back up files from Linux box A and restore them to Linux box B you need to be a bit careful about the owner and group IDs. This is because (even if you have exactly the same sets of user and group *names* on the two machines) unless you've been very careful to keep them in sync there's no guarantee that the user and group *names* are associated with the same *numeric* IDs on each machine. Assuming that the IDs having the same relationship on different machines is IMHO in most circumstances asking for trouble. If that's not the sort of thing you're doing, or you have it all under control, please forgive the intrusion. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
