strace follows a program and tracks down system calls etc. Its sometimes useful, though generates a massive output for most things. If its install simply doing 'strace command' will give you an idea. Anyway, its probably not going to help you that much - its output is pretty confusing. can you try backing up to and from the same filesystem - ie try rdiff-backup -v7 /home /tmp/home-backup dave _______________________________________________ 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
