Plain tar is nice in some ways, but unless there's hardware compression, using compression is risky. I've been using afio, which allows you to compress file-by-file. Like tar, it fits nicely into scripts, and creates reasonably accessible archives. -- Jesse Jacobsen, Pastor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Grace Lutheran Church (ELS) http://www.jvlnet.com/~jjacobsen/ Madison, Wisconsin GnuPG public key ID: 2E3EBF13
