I'm probally wrong here. It probally did abort,
I forgot the script is in a "for loop" probally
just continued on to next dump.

0.4b36

I'm just looking forward at diaster recovery
and I'll just have to make sure that whatever CD solution
I use will have kernel support for ram disks or make a small partition
available.

Redhat's default partition scheme is nutty, one big root partition
and several systems I need to back up have been set up this way.
Very dangerous, well maybe as soon as I get some time I'll add
to the list.

Thanks Stelian for your quick responses.
