Re: linux backup with ACLs - command line questions.

Thanks for the quick reply.

shilling>> you are probably using an outdated star

perhaps it was, I now have the lastest version. (the sys-admin said it was
"uptodate"
I guess RH's idea of Up2date is really old).

I still have one remaining problem.

That is what I started with, and reviewing the new man page (which looks
almost the same)
I now have these command lines, and I get this error:

Effectively, I have 3 mount points, /(root), /boot, and /repos
I back them up as follows, and each of them I get the same error.
(I did not have this error before)

#1 ----
/opt/schily/bin/star bs=256k -c -xdev -acl level=0 -wtardumps f=/dev/nst0
-C /boot .
/opt/schily/bin/star: Error parsing mount point

#2 ----
/opt/schily/bin/star bs=256k -c -xdev -acl level=0 -wtardumps f=/dev/nst0
-C / .
BEGIN: /opt/schily/bin/star: Error parsing mount point

#3 ----
/opt/schily/bin/star bs=256k -c -xdev -acl level=0 -wtardumps f=/dev/nst0
-C /repos .
BEGIN: /opt/schily/bin/star: Error parsing mount point
