thanks for your time; which version did you use? I have re-done my tests from scratch, and I can see that Fb2.0 (the version my client is using, unfortunately) gives me the error, while Fb2.1 works ok. If I could upgrade to 2.1 that I would solve the problem, but unfortunately it's not easy. -- Nando Dessena ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
