If you mean the IP address change occurs during a backup, then this is expected. TCP connections won't survive a chance in IP address, so a backup will fail if the pc changes its IP address during a backup. > Sometimes, this message appears : unknown host ....while the pc > exists and is on network. Could you give me some reasons. Thanks You need to read the documentation to understand how BackupPC finds pcs to backup and discovers or looks up their IP address. You can run BackupPC_dump with the -v option to see what commands it runs and to see which one fails: su backuppc BackupPC_dump -v -f HOST Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
