Re: Tom, I've got an emergency - please help me

ah, I see, -o -P is something completely different than -O -P

ok ... now I am dumping.... no errors so far....
we'll see if it'll work better on the new server.
I am lucky that I didn't lose any data, last backup is 32 hours old :((

thanks to all

Mit freundlichem Gruß
