Thanks - I read the error verbatim and realised I was being silly. The error (I can't remember the exact text and can't get to it for now) mentioned that the cpool directory and pc directory did not exist and it could not create the hard links, then it went on to certain commands to try.
I was concentrating on the hardlinks issue and tried creating them myself and found no issue. Then realised it also complained about the missing directories, I resolved this by simple creating the directories under /raid/backuppc/ and chown'ing and backuppc works fine. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by alankan...@hotmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
