I think I'm missing something here. Are you trying to make an archive copy of backuppc's backup of the local host where the USB drive is attached? What's the point, compared to just running the tar directly? > Here is the last log entry. > >> 2009-03-13 11:06:33 Started full backup on localhost >> <http://romulus/backuppc/index.cgi?host=localhost> (pid=7651, share=/) >> 2009-03-13 11:06:40 Backup failed on localhost >> <http://romulus/backuppc/index.cgi?host=localhost> (fileListReceive failed) This doesn't have anything to do with your localhost.4.tar.gz file. Backing up the local host is sort-of a special case if you don't let it connect over ssh like everything else. > Since I'm new to backuppc I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing and I'm > not sure what information would be helpful in solving my problem. > I'm happy to provide any information necessary I think you need to start from scratch since it isn't obvious what you are trying to do or why it is failing. Are you putting backuppc's native storage on the USB drive or just trying to make archive runs to it of things backuppc has saved? And what kind of filesystem is on the USB drive? -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
