I mean that I don't know, for a fact, that michelle-laptop michelle-A /cygdrive/c/Users { simple-gnutar-remote exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/MyConfig/exclude/michelle-laptop" include "./michelle/[A-CE-Za-ce-z]*" estimate calcsize } will do what I want it to do. Can I have an "include" and an "exclude" at the same time? Does the order matter? Does Windows and/or Cygwin work the way I expect Unix to work? I mean that I don't yet know exactly **how** small I want these DLEs to be. These are doing backups over wifi, and it's not very good wifi to begin with. I don't want the backups to take 24 hours; I don't want them to take 8 hours if I can help it. These are, for the most part, single-user machines. It's not a matter of /home/* , it's a matter of /home/hymie/[A-Z]* vs /home/hymie/Downloads (which by itself is 18GB) vs /home/hymie/[m-z]* . --hymie! http://lactose.homelinux.net/~hymie hy...@lactose.homelinux.net
