Keep in mind that without the DB you cannot find jobid values... nor know what volumes they are on. Dump your database daily. Copy the dump, along with all .conf and .bsr files, to multiple locations. Just in case. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
