Hello again,

I don't have a problem this time, but I'm curious:

The dump user on the clients is not required to have the permissions to  
read what he's backing up - read access to the devices is sufficient.

Still, we can exclude file-wise and have a TOC on the server afterwards.

How does this actually work? Sure, the information can be retrieved from  
the devices in principle, but only if one understands the underlying  
filesystem. Remounting should also be disallowed I presume.

So what's going on?

Jens
