Every one of my systems list last log at 505GB with a vanilla ³ls² and all are root:root. >Maybe that was when everyone else took the -1 uid out... ? >The straightforward approach is to have script on the host that runs >the mysqldump command so you can use a DumpPreUserCmd like: >$sshPath -q -x -l root $host /path/to/script. >and then back up the dump output instead of the live database.

I could use the pre/post commands, but I have enough latitude to be confident about completion. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Mark Moorcroft ERC Corp. 650-604-4784 mailto:mark.moorcr...@nasa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
