My root and user names etc are the same on the backup machine. Haven't 
changed them recently.

The problem is also that the size of the backup is so big that if I send 
the entire content of the main machine to a new sub-directory on the 
backup machine it will fill the HD. Which is why I only do an 
incremental. Believe me that did work wonderfully until recently.

I may have changed something in the way of permissions on the backup 
machine but at my age I cannot exactly remember all that has happened.

If I can't get this sorted I may have to restore, from that backup set 
so that I pretty will fill my main machine. Clear the backup machine and 
then do a full to it.

But it's all a bit of a fag and I'm bound to lose something in the 
process, if not everything.
