For the machines being backed up over the internet, I'd recommend setting IncrLevels to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in order to minimize your bandwidth usage. I have used the setup Les describes, with IncrLevels as stated above, successfully in 2 scenarios. One was a business that had an office in the USA and the UK, and one is in use at my home and my parents' home. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
