Remove the ">" in the cpio command:
Code:
find [a-z]* [0-9]* [A-Q]* /home/SMB-2000/* -print |cpio -ovm /home/bkups/$string I think I'm wrong, you don't use the -p option so the redirection is correct. Do you have write permission in the directories? Regards Last edited by Franklin52; 02-25-2008 at 03:54 PM.. |

The directory must be exist, try to make the directory before the find command:
Code:
mkdir -p /home/bkups/$string |
