rdiff-backup does some tests to make sure there isn't an already running backup on the same target though, doesn't it? istr i really screwed up once because i'd left a "--force" in a script of mine and rdiff-backup didn't finish in 24h and the next one started up... and the target was really screwed up after that :) the second instance started regressing the work of the first instance... while the first instance was still doing its thing. afterwards i ended up deleting the entire mirror and starting over because i couldn't figure out an easy way to get it to a sane staqte. -dean _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
