Re: The Old Selfcheck Issue

Also, just to be sure, check to see if the new name of the host (which
may have changed if the host uses dhcp to grab its name) is setup properly
in the disklist file (of course, if the name of the backup server is
localhost in disklist this cannot be a problem).
I hope this helps,
