You know what the weirdest part there is? It's clearly divided it up into 8 runs, it just isn't running them *at the same time*. And it's not like it's trying to do the "one portion every night" thing, either; when that job finishes, the next one runs immediately. ... the hell? Also, $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1; just for the record. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
