Just in case people don't misunderstand the use of the word diff here, I don't think that will copy only the differences. It will copy the changed files. If that's what the original poster wanted, OK. If you want just the changed bits of files, and not the whole files, I think you should look at the rdiff-backup program, which does keep the differences between editions in separate files. pj -- Paul E.
