Hi Johan,
I tried your suggestion of using tarCreate, but with no luck - I keep
getting the error "bad backup number" for host.
In order to keep it simple, I decided to just make a list of the backup,
and leave the tar-part out for a start.
it's all run as the backuppc-user (backuppc)
I entered: /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h ihrsrv31 -n -0
-s /datard1/documentation -l *
and got the error "bad backup number -0 for host ihrsrv31".
no matter what I enter as backup number - a direct number like 1189
(which is a previous full V3 backup), or a relative number like -0 / -1
/ -2 as you suggest, I get the bad number error.
Have I misunderstood something?
Best Regards
Ib H. Rasmussen
