As someone had pointed out earlier in the day for a question about troubleshooting filesets, the following command will list all of the files that were backed up in a particular job: list files jobid=id You may find a bug in your fileset definitions, or perhaps the target system keeps a lot of log files around. Remember, adding just one byte to a log file means that it needs to be backed up in an incremental/differential backup. Outlook .PST files and Unix/Linux MBOX-format mailboxes are tape-fillers for just this very reason in differential/incremental backups... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
