Oh I see what the problem is. This reminds of the time when I could never backup root.lrp because I had a 2GB windows share mounted that was used for my squid cache. Doh! root.exclude.list is so important that I wrote several script functions to deal with this (potential) problem. One fuction deals with creating directories and then excluding them from backup, the other handles symbolic links ( mkdir_exclude() && ln_exclude() ). None of my mount points or symbolic links are ever backed up. -cpu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
