Can you do the following: - Look in the RestoreLOG file. Are the "missing" files listed? Are there any errors? - On the restore target, does the empty directory have permissions/ACLs that would prevent writing of files? This is probably the most likely explanation I can think of. - If the missing files are not in the RestoreLOG file, what happens if you run: BackupPC_tarCreate -h HOST -s SHARE -n -1 / | tar -tvf - Do you see the missing files listed? Has anyone seen this with rsync/rsyncd, or is it just SMB? Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
