Unfortunately, I don't have RHEL 8. And I don't know what "backup" you are using, you don't say (likely whatever the default is, which I do not know). However, I will say that that output looks very much like what the "dd" command produces when it copies files. Is it correct? I have no way of telling. Assuming a "standard" type dd command, with no overriding options, those two messages say: I have successfully read 10,000 512 byte records from the file/device in the "if=" parameter and successfully written those 10,000 512 byte records to the file/device in the "of=" parameter. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
