Hey all,

OK got a new error for you. Today I wanted to restore something for the
first time.. and wouldn't you know it. Errors.. no restore happening.

What I tried to do:

I back up localhost to localhost (another drive, same machine).
Now as a test I wanted to restore /var/log/uucp.log. A 0byte file.

I tell it to restore directly to the machine localhost. 

Result in the log file:

2005-12-03 04:20:49 Running: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h 
localhost -n 21 -s /var -t -r /log -p /log/ /log/uucp.log
2005-12-03 04:20:54 Restore failed (BackupPC_tarCreate failed)

Not a really informative log message..

I tried the same command as user backuppc:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h
localhost -n
21 -s /var -t -r /log -p /log/ /log/uucp.log
./log/uucp.log0000644000000000000000000000000010131560714012135 0ustar
rootrootDone: 1 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 0 errors
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Well, no errors, but no files created either.

Any thoughts? My localhost.pl contains:

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc'];
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/boot', '/var', '/usr/local', '/etc'];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo /etc/backuppc/tarcreate -v -f - -C
$shareName+ --totals';
