Well, I can say that that may or may not be an advantage Jon. How, if tar doesn't set a timestamp someplace, does it otherwise know that it did a full backup on this file yesterday, and only needs to do an incremental today? Tar has no mechanism to dirctr it to check its older logs that I know of. I've not figured it out, but the question isn't rhetorical either. How's the snow up in Jersey? We have about 7" on the ground here. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
