Thanks for the suggestion Wayne - it's not one I was aware of and works. We can't use it though - every 20th backup, the program which runs rsync on the user client does --delete to remove dead files from the server. With exclude = * this doesn't work.
Any other ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
