I just installed and ran flexbackup for the first time. While it looks like it has what I need, it didn't finish the backup, ending with an error message. Here are relevant entries from the log file:
| Backup of: /home/users/kimberley | Date of this level 0 backup: Tue Oct 07 14:36:38 2003 | Date of last level 0 backup: the epoch |------------------------------------------------------------ | touch "/home/users/kimberley/level 0 -home-users-kimberley Tue Oct 07 | 14:36:38 2003 zip from dk.graabek.com" | cd "/home/users/kimberley" && find . -depth ! -fstype nfs ! -fstype smbfs | ! -fstype bind ! -type s -print | zip -@ -b /tmp -y -1 -n | .mp3:.MP3:.Z:.z:.gz:.gif:.zip:.ZIP:.lha:.jpeg:.jpg:.JPG:.taz:.tgz:.deb: | .rpm:.bz2 -v /tmp/archive.24504.zip | cat /tmp/archive.24504.zip | dd ibs=10k obs=10k conv=noerror | of="/home/backups/home-users-kimberley.0.200310071403.zip" | rm -f "/home/users/kimberley/level 0 -home-users-kimberley Tue Oct 07 | 14:36:38 2003 zip from dk.graabek.com" /tmp/archive.24504.zip and at the end of the log file this: adding: My Documents/My Pictures/QuickCam/Album/Pictures and Videos/Videos/Video 116.avi...................... ............................................................................ .................................... snip ...................................................................

This has however never been a problem in the past. I've just a program called Reoback, and it has succesfully created files in excess of 2 GB. The Os in question is Redhat Linux 7.3. What might the problem be? Which program is flexbackup using on my system which can't handle 2 GB? Regards, bjorn
