What are you referring to with the word "it" as in "it returns..."? Also, can you be more specific than "a bunch of errors"? You've quoted one, from BackupEdge... what are the others? (copy/paste if possible.) And where do you see that "bunch"? Console? Shell? GUI? What do you do (specific commands) that causes them to appear? Are these errors identical or are there differences between tar and BackupEdge? You're logged in as 'root' or as yourself (normal user) when these errors happen? (IOW, you've ruled out permissions problems, right?) - Carl
