OMG. I really didn't know that. I am using rsync so I guess each incr time will be getting longer and longer? (since it transfers everything since previous full) That's not good : ( I rather not to do full often ( I thought I just need one full backup). But what's the best way to do this?
I want to have one full and 60 days of incr backup (which takes about the same amount of time each time). Thank you a bunch Les.

If you are running rsync you actually transfer everything changed since the previous full on every subsequent incremental. The duplicate copies will be identified and merged into the pool after the transfer. If bandwidth use is more important than the run time you might want to do fulls more often. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
