I know where the error lies but not how to fix it. zparameters="a -mhe=on -pd1ckhead -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on -si" zfilename="Daily Backup - $(date +"%a %h %H%M %d-%m-%Y").$backuplevel.tar.7z"
When these two expand here: tar $tarparameters $backuppath | 7z $zparameters $zfilename I end up with all of the terms but the $zfilename still needs quoting somehow as it contains spaces, how do you fix that or do I have to escape all of the spaces with back ticks? All the help so far has been great. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
