I can see how this could work, using one disklist. My problem, though, is that I need (I think) a separate disklist, so that the video files don't go into frequent level 0 backups when nothing has changed. I'm quite happy to do the manual backup for those, rather than cron, because I can simple do it on the occasional day that I have added video files. I just can't work out how to handle two disklists.
