Well, the error is right there: > sendbackup: info end > | DUMP: You can't update the dumpdates file when dumping a > subdirectory > | DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. > sendbackup: error [/sbin/dump returned 1] You are trying to use dump on a directory, not a mount point like it was designed. If you only want to do a subdirectory, you should use tar, not dump. Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
