Dale, I tried following the HOWTO Web page and find it inconsistent and ambiguous. That's why I wrote for review of the files. I don't care what the bank and vault names are, as long as it works. I can change the bank name to dirvish, since the HOWTO suggests that I need a directory by that name containing the default.conf. As for vaults, I'm backing up only the one host, and I want all partitions (except /proc since that's generated on the fly, I believe) included. > One thing that I did when I created my config files: I put lots and lots > of comments in, to tell me what each entry did, what the options were, and > sometimes _why_ they were. :-) Trust me, it helps immensely when I have > to modify something. :-) If you think it would help, I could post my > configs. Sometimes having a working example can be useful. If what I have works, both files are so short that comments may well be superfluous. I've been a firm believer in commenting directive files since trying to figure out what I did in a FORTRAN program (on punch cards) a few months after writing it, and having forgotten my logic and reasoning after not running the models for a while.
