Thanks for your reply. I've been researching the problem since I was
using tar and I thought this would be solved in recent backup
utilities. It is not that difficult to implement, I can't believe that
it has not been addressed. Thanks Pablo Charlie Brady wrote: On Mon, 23 Jan 2006, Pablo Godel wrote:I am testing flexbackup.

The incremental backup would also need to contain information about files which had been deleted since the previous incremental. That would mean that the file system would need to hold information about previously deleted files, which in general it doesn't. Or the backup system would need to take a snapshot of all the directories at each backup. -- Charlie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
