Murray,

If you can login but see an empty file selection tree, it could be the 
'cmdloop' cron job that runs in the background didn't get properly 
installed. If you run 'ps x' you should see something running like
               '/bin/bash /var/bobsdata/current/process/cmdloop'.
There are instructions in the INSTALL for testing the cmdloop and backup 
manually.

Also, if you haven't had a successful backup, the restore tree will be 
empty or get an error.

Your feedback is valuable. Thanks.

Joe
