Chris,

Thanks for your reply, yes I was trying to backup a single directory (thought 
I'd do this 
first just to test).  If I have to backup the filesystem does this mean if I 
put the 
following entry in my disklist file?:

dataserv        /      always-full

Cus I've already tried this and I still get the same errors.  Is my disklist 
file wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Jane.
