I have not seen anything exactly like either of these. Does it show an error if you just list the backup with cpio -itv? If so, what is the behaviour of the tomsrtbt cpio -itv vs. the cpio you are backing up with given -itv? I have done what I think is basically exactly what you are doing without problems, so I'm not sure where exactly to look for the problem. -Tom
