Because a single full backup is the least space consuming method to back up all data (to my knowledge), but transferring all data (already existing from the run before) in another full backup is unncessary. Do you think there is a better method, keeping in mind I don't have to care about versioning? >Arno Danke (Thanks) Best regards Silvério ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
