I think the problem is here. Did you run the script as root? If you have physical access to the machine, it's better to use the autoinstalldiskette than the script. The script is only good if you don't have physical access to the system.
hi! thank you for your answer. i ran the script as root and i have no physcical access to the system. i used a rescue mode and i dont know why the permission is denied. if you have no idea... it isn't important... i'll try another way to do backups
hi falko, thank you for your answer. i tried the script again. the server has a new image (default debian sarge image from the provider) and i got also a new error message, see below: i assume "Read-only file system" doesn't sound good.
