Hi again, okay I got everything configured correctly - well almost everything. i am finding that ownership on the backup rdiff sevrer is wrong - called backup-host below. look at this. "-r-xr-xr-x 1 backup backup 3833936 Apr 16 17:19 kernel" in fact all the files and directories are owned by backup:backup what can I do about this. here is my configuration command. this command is intiated by root on the machine that is being backedup. --- snip --- rdiff-backup --print-statistics --exclude-globbing-filelist /somedir/cron_scripts/rdiff-backup.exclude / [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/home/backup/typhoon --- snip --- any clues here? cheers, Noah this should > -- > Keith Edmunds > > +-------------------------------------------------------------------- > -+ | Tiger Computing Ltd | Helping businesses make the most of > Linux | | "The Linux Company" | > http://www.TheLinuxConsultancy.co.uk | +------------------------ > ---------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
