Hi Chris,

no, that problem is solved. I'm not really sure anymore what it was. But 
I thought Mark fixed this problem.

Haven't tested Box Backup for a while now, because of the last problem I 
had. I was trying to backup a directory that was too big for the store. 
So I tried to increase the size, but that failed miserably. The server 
rejected the commands I gave. Unfortunately I don't know which errors at 
the moment. But my plan is to install it on a new server and do some 
more testing there.
I have the feeling that it is not yet stable enough to deploy in a mixed 
windows / linux environment as a backup solution.

Gr.
Roy
