Confixx does a "cd $dir; tar czf ..." without any error checking. If the target directory does not exist, the backup is done in the current working directory, which is /root. It is possible to retrieve *any* directory by replacing $HOME/files or $HOME/html with a symlink. > If you are using confixx, you should disable the backup script. -Dirk -- Linux - Life is too short for reboots
