You might speed up access to the directory listing you are expiring, but the data files are still going to be randomly located. They will probably have been accumulated by several simultaneous runs with the first unique copy from any host being the one that gets saved. > As I said.

Are you comparing uncompressed native rsync runs to the perl version that handles backuppc's compressed files? There are more variables involved than the link structure. Also, backuppc may be running several backups at once, which is a good thing if you have a fast server and slow or remote clients. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
