The requested files(s) were not in the archive most likely, or the path was wrong. An example of your directory spec and the file list would be good, but check: 1. What's the root of the backed-up directory? 2. Make sure the file list in restore.txt is relative to #1 3. Check via "flexbackup -list" that the files are in the archive. Example: If you backed up the directory "/path/to/some/dir", and you want to restore "/path/to/some/dir/dir2/dir3/filename", then restore.txt needs to contain "dir2/dir3/filename". -- Edwin Huffstutler [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key ID: AE782DC9 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
