So, are you saying that the user and group in question existed before you ever attempted to do a restore?
Or do they only exist because you had done a restore in the past?
-Eric
the users/groups already existed, having the same uid/gid on the new system
Well, something about your setup there or perhaps the way you're doing your backup isn't really clicking for me.
However, I'm not sure of a way to achieve what you're asking -- to restore a server in a case where a uid/gid already exists on the system, but is not part of Webmin/Virtualmin.

Hi Eric, the uid/gid are part of the virtualminwebmin system, but they exist both on the primary and the secondary server. Once in 2 weeks i would like to do a full backup on the primary and restore it to the secondary server, the other days i want to do incrementals. I added the users from an export / import of webmin, and then the restore of the full backup fails, stating the users / groups exist. This will always be the case when i do a full backup from the primary server to the secondary server using webmin / virtualmin. Or do i miss an option somewhere to add uid / gid's only when they don't exist?
