It sounds like Carl's suggestion to use BackupPC_tarCreate solved your problem. You cannot use BackupPC_restore in the manner you tried. The third argument is the path to a request file that contains several pieces of information about what to restore (which backup, which host, which path, changes to the path etc). It is interpreting "Users" as the name of that file. Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
