Not sure, this is REALLY lean (as you know) -- I wouldn't be entirely surprised if a *lot* of swapping is going on, and combining that with a slow CPU, it may take a very, very long time for some operations to complete. > Is there any way to narrow the possible reasons down? "Hangs" are in many ways trickier than error messages. Given that the perl debugger is saying that it hangs essentially where it's trying to contact the server, I'd speculate that it's not actually hanging, per se, but spending its time swapping back and forth between BackupPC_serverMsg and the server it's trying to contact. How long is it waiting? Does it seem busy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
