I'd agree with you John. I'm trying to get away from Amanda's unpredictability and go back to using scripts to drive dump (for ext2/3/4) and xfsdump (for xfs). Is there any easy way to tell rear to include xfsdump and dump capability? If the commands are there then its trivial to restore dat

What I've done in the past is before the nightly backup write a small file to the root of each filesystem giving disk geometries.  You can then use any recovery DVD to partition and reload the OS.  If rear can do this for me it would be __much__ neater! According to rear webpage: https://relax-an

Hi Frank - Thanks. Gosh crazy of me. The Vmware icon was missing on the left hot menu. So I was mistakenly running Virtual Box (of which I never had added anything)... I re-added the vmware player - and my files are there like always. Long day. Thanks for the knock in the head. Jerry
