[lbackup-discussion] LBackup Question

[henri]

Let me know how you get on with these additional changes suggested within the previous email and if the backup then completes successfully.

If it works then I would suggest that the next step is to confirm that any meta-data required in the backup is actually being preserved.

Hopefully this information is helpful.

Regards,
Henri
