Backuppc is normally configured to run as root via ssh so permissions don't matter. Are you configured to use ssh for localhost or using some other trick to get root access? > I therefore changed to read permissions for everyone with: > chmod -R +r /home/peter/Maildir > > debian:~# ls -l /home/peter/ > drwxr--r-- 30 peter peter 4096 2008-07-09 22:14 Maildir > > But tonights incremental backup didn't make a different. Tar-based incrementals are strictly timestamp based so they will only pick up files that are newer than the last full even if you make changes to the configuration. The next full should include the files or show errors in the log if they are not readable. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
