This is really odd.  I can restore a file from a backup that was done on the command line.  But I still can not initiate a backup from the browser.  

Here is the logfile for the client:


2010-03-03 15:00:20 restore started for share DocumentsandSettings
2010-03-03 15:00:21 restore 0 complete (1 files, 312 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 xferErrs)

and then here is the server logfile showing where I have repeatedly tried to start a backup:

2010-03-03 14:58:27 BackupPC started, pid 6441
2010-03-03 14:58:27 Running BackupPC_trashClean (pid=6442)
2010-03-03 14:58:27 Next wakeup is 2010-03-04 05:00:00
2010-03-03 14:58:51 User jsummers requested backup of jbsoffice (10.194.10.227)
2010-03-03 15:00:20 User jsummers requested restore to jbsoffice (10.194.10.227)
2010-03-03 15:00:20 Started restore on jbsoffice (pid=6475)
2010-03-03 15:00:21 Finished restore on jbsoffice
2010-03-03 15:01:08 User jsummers requested backup of jbsoffice (10.194.10.227)


The error log for httpd shows no problems.

Not sure which way to go now.

Ideas / Suggestions?

Thanks again
