I had assumed the tar balls where relatively large, I also did not mean 'copy' but rather # mv, with the assumption that they where on the same device and that the move amounted to pointer changes and not replication of data. >From Jens' above -- if you are able to identify the files with find, you could, using your suggestion build a custom/daily include list, or rather than symlinks, use hardlinks, but again, this amounts to a slightly more complicated # mv, also requiring that both directories be on the same partition. > > Jens --- Brian R Cuttler [email protected] Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.
