[Box Backup] Read-only Account Data

[Scott McNee]

My Apologies for the HTML.

Anyway,
	A restore is what I was trying to do. Directly from a Disc. The
server generate the CommonOS Access Error. I will try
	different methods if it should be possible. I was just curious if
the write.lock file needed to be writeable.

	and Yes I am aware that no new backups could be made to a read-only
system. This is purely from a restore-only point 	of view.

Anyway thanksfor the response.

I don't think that a backup server would be functional on a read only  
filesystem. How is it supposed to write the data it's sent to disc?

Having said that, a restore should work. What exactly did you try,  
and how did it fail?

Please don't use HTML email on this list.
