I have never tried it to CD, but I can confirm when you do an ssh backup you will be sent an email with a positive acknowledgement that the files were received intact on the server. I took a look at the code, and it does not seem to do a verify after write on CD. If you need that feature then raise a feature request on Bugzilla. Drakbackup is maintained by Stew Benedict. He often can be found on the expert list. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
