Paul, Thank you. I've not before had reason to dig deeply in find, dirvish, or any system tools. Now I understand that xdev controls the levels backed up and '1' makes sense as the top-most while I assume that '0' means follow each path to the end. >> Just tried backing up salmo-home/ and it failed: >> >> # dirvish --vault salmo --init >> cannot open config file: default.conf > > Pointing out the obvious: salmo-home and salmo are different things. > You probably don't have a "salmo" vault, so that's why the config can't > be read. That's what I missed seeing. Just now I got it correct and /home is also initialized. When each vault is initialized root gets a mail message about post-processing failing. I assume that I can ignore this and the incremental upgrades will work without such notices.
