Please see: > http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental > http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html good links .. but i guess, i prefer to see multiple files, of what files changed as of that date backup/jun.30.tgz that holds previous 32 days of backups backup/jun.23.tgz that holds previous 32 days backup/jun.16.tgz that holds previous 32 days .. backup/jun.09.tgz that holds previous 32 days .. ... ( yes, i do mean make 30-day incrementals every week ) i can see when foo.c was corrupted, on jun 23 or jun 16... - by the tme you find foo.c is corrupt or missing, you dont know when it occured rsync overwrites the data, but didnt save a the old or current copy of the file it was overwriting/rsyncing c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
