Yes, this was the standard for raqbackup.sh 3.1 and 3.0. I didn't know
that CMU creates files like *.gz.1 - we don't have such big sites.

I'm working on version 3.2 which will solve this issue and introduces
some other features for more reliabality. Version 3.2 should be
available until friday to all my supporters (they will receive a
message with more details) and until the end of the month for the
public.

It should ftp all *.gz-files. But it won't ftp *.gz.*-files at the
moment.

If you have large sites with several 100MBs of data it's very
recommended to change the line

  mput *.gz

to

  mput *.gz*

Or you can execute the following as User root:

cd /etc/cron.daily
perl -pi -e 's#mput \*.gz#mput \*.gz\*#' raqbackup.sh
  
Many thanks to Brett for reporting this issue.

Daniel
