this has been hashed over many times in the last couple of weeks. short version: - wait overnight - if you don't want to wait overnight, become the backuppc user and type '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run'. You may have to do this multiple times if the pool isn't completely scanned every night. (there's a setting in config.pl for this). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
