First off, you may want to consider using directory names rather than raw disk partitions -- I've found it awfully useful when, e.g., a disk dies and I have to move a filesystem to a new disk/partition. When using directory names, the history stays intact. Regardless, what *are* the owner/group and permissions on those partitions (the raw devices)? Are you trying to use dump or tar for your backups? BTW, what OS? -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
