I'm loosing it here Les :( OK, if I understood what you meant correctly, something like:
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate -c 4 -h fshac1 -n 530 -s /home/hefinw > /backup/hefin.zip should work. Given the location of the directory (/backup/data/pc/fshac1/530/f%2fhome/fhefinw) -h fshac1 = the BackupPC host -n 530 = the backup no -s /home/hefinw = the 'share' on the host -c 4 = the compression level used when the backup was created When I run the above command I simply get a 'usage' message! I've tried all sorts of variations (fhefinw etc etc) but without any greater success. Very frustrating. 12.15am. Time for bed I think.

"share" is the name it had in the backuppc configuration. With smb or rsyncd, it would be the name of the network share or module . With tar or rsync it would be the top directory of the tree for the run - if you only had one for the host it might be '/'. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
