None of the command line tools support encryption. In addition, I recently learned that they do not support access control lists either. The only reason that most of the command line tools are there is because 3 or 4 years ago, most people wouldn't accept a program very easily that writes the backup data in its own "non-Unix" format -- so I wrote those tools sort of like a security blinket, and I really would like to do away with bextract or rewrite it to use nothing but core routines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
