This can't be "fixed" by just reinstalling the OS ;) No, of course not. I was just supposing this as a fix for your specific error messages. On the other hand, having files with the schg flag set AND hardlinks is not something that happens very often. > I'd say that > keeping the flags and setting them when the whole restore is done is one > step in the right direction and fixes at least some of the problems.

There should really be a possibility to make backups and restores, without having all those policies to get in your way, instead of implementing a complicated handling scheme in every backup-software. Maybe worth a bug report for FreeBSD? Cheers, Georg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
