I've done further work on this and I'm still getting the same result. So, basic information first.
Fedora Core 2, and fully updated. Installed flexbackup-1.2.1-1.noarch. rpm. Trying to backup [from flexbackup.conf] $set{'docs'} = "/mnt/windowsf/documents"; $set{'boztu'} = "/home/boztu /mnt/windowsf/documents"; >From fstab.conf /dev/hde7 /mnt/windowsf vfat auto,exec,umask=000 0 0 [NB - line wrapped] |------------------------------------------------------------ | Backup start: Tue Jul 27 09:47:08 2004 | Backup end: Tue Jul 27 09:47:19 2004 |------------------------------------------------------------ | Compressing log (boztu.0.200407270940.gz) | Linking boztu.latest.gz -> boztu.0.200407270940.gz |------------------------------------------------------------ Thats the full backup done. A few minutes later, after a few minor changes, a differential backup undertaken with the command;- ./flexbackup -set boztu -differential [as su] And this is the result;- |------------------------------------------------------------ | Backup start: Tue Jul 27 09:56:19 2004 | Backup end: Tue Jul 27 09:56:36 2004 |------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------ | Backup of: /mnt/windowsf/documents Can't do a level 1 backup - no level 0 timestamp found at ./flexbackup line 2288. /home/boztu is backed up, but it fails every time at attempting to do a differential or incremental backup of /mnt/windowsf/documents and with the same error message too. Can anyone help me sort this out please and get this working properly? Sharon.
