thanks, yes it could be a hard disk issue, at least when I'm trying to zip the whole psql directory I get the following message: adding: pgsql/data/base/892124/937757 zip warning: file size changed while zi (deflated 88%) as the postmaster has been shut down, nobody should change files in the pgsql directory tree. rgds dimitri -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
