I do use passwordless login for the backups to work. The backup works fine using ssh this way; I don't get prompted for a password. Not sure though, how you mean different for restoring. Could you elaborate a bit? I haven't really looked into the first restore option, ie tweaked in any way, as #2 and #3 have worked fine so far, until now. -- /Sorin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
