Hi Oliver, Just a random question, but do you back up linux machines? It keeps failing for me at the point where it tries the file; /proc/kcore At this point it see's it's in use and aborts the backup... any way around that which you know? Thanks again. Kind Regards, gshergill

You need to exclude /proc from your backups. It's a virtual file system maintained by the kernel, and does not need to be backed up. Here's the excludes we use for Linux hosts: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' = [ '/dev', '/proc', '/tmp_mnt', '/var/tmp', '/tmp',

Hi guys, Johan, === Try this: $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync'; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/tmp', '/dev']; === From reading the config file it seems you need to add the '*' part that Ray mentioned, to define it as being for rsync. Thanks though.
