Anyway, here's what I've tried and my results (command line under su backuppc): $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav/ /leidav/zlink.txt /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share or directory '/home//leidav/zlink.txt' Done: 0 files, 0 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 1 errors So this command that I'm using is the command that the backuppc web interface creates when I select a file to restore while browsing a backup. So if the COMMAND is wrong, that's a bit annoying, but at least backuppc allows you to change the command. Hopefully it's not a problem in BackupPC_tarCreate - that would be even more annoying! I don't understand what you are trying to do here. The web interface is going to generate a URL-encoded command that can be sent back to the web interface. If you want that, why not just check the option to do it in the web interface? Or if you want to want to use the command line, why not just type the options in yourself without the unnecessary &-encoding. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell < at > gmail.com ------- @Les Mikesell Hi Les, thanks for the reply and sorry my post was confusing. I use the web interface exclusively but when it has an error it doesn't always give all the information necessary to see what the real problem is. For instance the web interface tells me this: Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root fichiers00 env LC_ALL=C sudo /bin/tar -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C /home Running: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 828 -s /home -t -r /leidav -p /leidav/ /leidav/zlink.txt Xfer PIDs are now 22938,22939 Tar exited with error 65280 () status restore failed: BackupPC_tarCreate failed So this "BackupPC_tarCreate failed" is not too useful. Consequently, I take the command and run it at the command line to see what message it gives me. Of course if the web interface is creating bad commands, that would be a problem to track down. So that's where I am at the moment.
