What error do you get when running as the backuppc user (or whatever id the daemon is using when the link fails)? Also, is the target disk formatted with a linux filesystem that supports hardlinks? Tar backups should run about as fast as the server is able to write the data to disk - but it does have to write it all on a full run. If the links are failing you probably have a lot of clutter with additional copies filling your disk. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
