Re: [BackupPC-users] BUG with files of form '-i'

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you on this. I'm trying to replicate this but without success. If I create an empty -i file in a directory that has other files, then both full and incremental backups work on my set up. Let's take this off list and figure out how I can replicate it. At a minimum, can you restrict the backup to just /etc and increase XferLogLevel to, say, 6 and send me the XferLOG file?

[BackupPC-users] BUG with files of form '-i'
I add an (empty) file named '-i' in several of my key Linux directories to prevent inadvertent rm * calamities. However, BackupPC doesn't seem to like this, giving me error messages of form: Can't open /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/mycomputer/new/f%2fetc/f-i for empty output\n Then, when I look in the backup directory /var/lib/BackupPC.jnew.clean/pc/mycomputer/0/f%2fetc I cannot find the file '-i' backed up (though everything else is ok). I am using the 'rsync' transfer method over NFS. Note when I manually run a similar rsync statement from the console, there are no problems. sudo -u backuppc rsync -vx --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --omit-dir-times [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/ /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/mycomputer/temp receiving file list ... done -i .pwd.lock DIR_COLORS DIR_COLORS.xterm Trolltech.conf a2ps-site.cfg a2ps.cfg adjtime aliases aliases.db aliases.jnew aliases.jorig anacrontab ... So, I am wondering whether it is a quoting issue where somehow the shell is interpreting the '-' rather than seeing it as part of the filename. Any ideas on how to fix this?
