thanks,
but what can I do untill then!
we already delete this big file but the backup still hangs!
all we want to be able to run the backup again without loose all of our 
old backup (except this directory).
is there any chance for this. or we have to delete all old backups (2 
weeks) and start with a fresh backup?
yours.
