No, there shouldn't be a temporary tar - it should pipe the TAR output through the ssh connection and a special BackupPC process will receive the files. Ah, I've found it. Your "--C" option should be "- -C". It should look like this: > Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l pcambra 192.168.1.37 LC_ALL=C sudo > /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home/pcambra --totals . "-f -" instructs tar to output it's TAR file to standard out. HTH, Tino. -- „Es gibt keinen Weg zum Frieden.
