Re: [PilotMgr] "Unable to fully expire modified archive"
Jeff,
Are there any hidden files, do an ls -la
I had this problem with a database for my Nokia Mobile connection... The file name ended up with ASCII codes in the names, which were different
when read back, to when they were created, and the backup conduit thought they were different files...
I am running a patched backup conduit that I got from Bo.Kullmar@xxxxxx, which was v1.008 (early-access) that could cope with this... I think this
ended up being a database that ended up being an empty name, from the looks of the patch, which might be your problem.
When it say 34 databases, do you have 34 files in the backup directory???
Regards,
Darren
