Thanks for feedback. After doing a little bit research I found that the application (Apache Tomcat) and backup (Veritas NetBackup) was running during the copy job. What influence have a running Tomcat and NetBackup on rsync? What rsync (running as root) do if there are read-only files? kind regards Sven _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
