That would indeed be 0.09. Anyway, I have /var/log/box set up on the
client side, and it works fine when running 'bbackupctl' but doesn't
show anything when I'm running 'bbackupquery compare' Is that proper
behavior?
However, I did find that I was backing up a 3 gig Mac image file (.dmg)
that I was previously unaware of. As it was not needed, I removed it,
and now 'bbackupquery "compare -aq" quit' runs without error.
(Boxbackup did note that it was still located in the backup store.)
Thanks much, I have another question regarding 'bbackupquery compare,'
but as it's a different machine and a different error, I'll post it in a
new thread.
