I have managed to do *another* backup on the same disk. I mv'd the existing backup out of the way, and repeated the backup. This time no problems, and the disk didn't g read-only. I did plug the drive into a different USB port. So it appears driff-backup seems to have worked, but I'm etting suspicious abut that USB port. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
