Thank you. I've gotten output of it screwing up, but it's a 62MB file. I
don't think I'm allowed to send attachments here, nor do I know what I'm
supposed to be looking for in this output. So, instead I'm putting the
(compressed) file up on my home computer. If you've got suggestions for what
I should use instead, let me know.

Although I don't think you'll need it, I've included the dmesg output of
what happened when I ran my backup script, just in case it helps at all.

Thanks for the help so far,
Tim McGrath
