Hi,
I love affa - I have it used it to change the hardware on a 1.0T server to 1.5T (it took a really long time) and I now have a 1.2T server backing up the new 1.5T server. Yes it wlll work at least 0.5T is not being backed up.
Anyway affa --status always reports the last backup occured never. I have backup's scheduled every 4 hours.
Here's a little evidence
[root@galland ~]# affa --status
Affa version 0.6.1 on galland (10.0.0.2)
