[flexbackup-help] Re: backuping remote FreeBSD from Linux computer problem

[Michel G. <mic...@7i...>]

 Hello all,

I encountered the same problem.
Hope the following patch to flexbackup script solve your problem.
Not widely tested, maybe the bad way to do it, but it works on freebsd
flexbackup server with freebsd (using freebsd find) and solaris clients 
(using
gnu find).
So it will works probably in your environnement.
