Hi Hans, Do you know when you may have the script modified so that when the backup is performed it does not include the images directories? As it is now the backup is failing with this error: Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2003 07:32:35 -0700 From: Cron Daemon To: root@imageconnector Subject: Cron /usr/local/bin/local-maketarballs.sh tar: imageconnector\:var-www/2003-09-21@02\:20\:00/..inodes/00007209/00/75/81/fc: file changed as we read it tar: imageconnector\:var-www/2003-09-21@02\:20\:00/..inodes/00007209/00/75/81/ff: file changed as we read it tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors export/imageconnector.var-www-2003-09-21-at-02.20.00.tgz: File too large It looks like we ran out of space for the backup. miles@imageconnector:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/ataraid/d0p2 957M 147M 762M 17% / /dev/ataraid/d0p3 1.9G 223M 1.5G 13% /usr /dev/ataraid/d0p6 1.9G 49M 1.7G 3% /home /dev/ataraid/d0p9 104G 81G 18G 82% /var -Miles ------------------------------------------------- FastQ Communications Providing Innovative Internet Solutions Since 1993
