Finally had a chance to upgrade to 1.6.12: the new configuration is great; ./configure && make worked flawlessly on Redhat Linux 8.0 and Mac OS 10.2.4. Then, I finally did it: filled up my backup disk. I think hdup's handling of this case could be better: what it did is just terminated with no warnings or other messages (I'm not sure what the exit status was - in the future I'll keep track of this clue). The tar file is there, but truncated, and the inclist file was created but empty -- a situation that could confuse future runs since it looks like a backup was done, but there is no trustworthy backed-up data. In case it matters, I was running a local, monthly backup with -V. Bng -- Boris Goldowsky boris-FrUbXkNCsVf2fBVCVOL8/[email protected]
