Thanks, Kern, Davide and Wanderlei.

strangely enough the backup to the weekly pool seems to have run ok over the 
weekend.

I’ll check if I can recover files from it and then see what happens to the 
daily run tonight.
I’ll post back the results just for the sake of completeness.

And yes, I know we need to update the server, Kern. It’s been on the list for a 
while, but as
everything worked smoothly so far… Guess I need to push it up a bit.

Thanks again,

Korbinian
