There are many ways how this can be done. Director can, for example, notify FileDaemon everytime a FileSet is changed. FileDaemon can store changes in SQLite database, storing in memory can be quite expensive. Feature like this can _rapidly_ speed up the backup process. azur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
