/.../SimpleBackup/bkup: line 326: /.../backup

I get the above error when running the backup software. when it is finished I have a file called "backup.mon.tar.gz" and "backup.mon.index" in the temp directory and a file called "backup" in the backup directory.
(I can open the first two but the backup file gives an error "archive type not supported")

any ideas?

both backup files are 3.9 gb, the first one holds all the correct backed up files.

it is backed up to a second internal hdd mounted in /mnt/ (the same dribve (but not the same folder :) ) as the temp directory)

Also a thought, can you put a wildcard in the file backup routine? so I can backup *.conf from /etc for example.

thanks

Tony

whoops, it cut down the subject, the error is:

/e/SimpleBackup/bkup: line 326: /mnt/b/backup/Backup.Mon.index: Not a directory

Tony,

Are you running the latest SLB? Version 0.3.3?

Wildcards don't work in the list of files/directories to back up. That's because the "tar" command, used by SLB, doesn't support it.
