Yes that's what I meant. > > If yes, a login there is not possible. It is a terastation (=black > box) with only access via cifs.

That's the kind of push I meant. Graphically: [source box] -> [your box, running rdiff-backup] -> [terastation with cifs share] > It is set up that way, as written above :) You may be able to fix your current problem by running the regression locally (after an rsync), then rsync your updated rdiff-backup destination over to the cifs share (move the broken destination somewhere else first, then remove it later if your new backup dest works). _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
