Not exactly. There are various ways to implement delete permission. You did not mention the filesystem of the external drive, which would narrow things down (run df -Th|grep "Lacie" when it is mounted). However, if it's NTFS, there is an explicit delete permission (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419). Another possibility is that you have content in Downloads that you do not own, and the sticky bit (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419) is set on your backup destination. Run: ls -ld /media/Lacie/daryl and find ~ -not -user daryl Matt Flaschen _______________________________________________ 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
