Except your filesystem is not in a stable state. You should stop backuppc, umount your filesystem, then take your snapshot, and then remount filesystem, start backuppc, and finally copy the snapshot remotely as needed.... With your existing method, you should fsck your filesystem after it is copied to the remote location.... BTW, 99% of the time it won't matter, but if it screws up that one time when you need it, then oops :( Regards, Adam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkijhMACgkQGyoxogrTyiXQNQCfW7EIyuYErCfUnWYXwzIouq5k wg0AoLej/lIAth/L+lFNK8Zo7Led2iJR =SqM4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
