So how can I write a logfile?

That's what screen is for. You start your command _inside_ screen. Then detach from the screen (which leaves the command running), then close your ssh connection. When you connect back, you re-atach to screen using -R and get back. Screen is a terminal multiplexer. It's like VMware for terminals. :-) Tino. -- "What we nourish flourishes." - "Was wir nähren erblüht." www.craniosacralzentrum.de www.forteego.de - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Yes this should work, eg; BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc/HOST | (cd /new/backuppc/pc && tar xPf -) Note: the extract still starts at the pc directory, not pc/HOST.

[BackupPC-users] Question regarding BackupPC_tarPCCopy
Hello, I moved the data of my backups according to the wiki (rsync -a). Now, I'm trying to restore the symlinks. For that I issue these commands: cd /mnt/sda5/BackupPC/pc ; /usr/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/ |tar xvPF - This takes ages, which is ok, but I'm logged in to the server via ssh, so that using the nohup command would be useful. This has the drawback, that the nohup.out is empty, so that I cannot monitor the process. Furthermore: Would it be possible to limit the BackupPC_tarPCCopy command to one host only?
