Fileset changes are calculated from the config file, not the list of files returned by the "\|" script, so it will do Incremental too. Don't use the "accurate" option though, because it will get confused. > ... or ... are there other/better solutions for this kind of backup? You could use a separate fileset and job for each directory. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
