Rob's right. Running with IncrLevels = 1 means that every incremental will download every file with a modification time newer than the last Full. Using 6 incrementals with levels 1, 2, ... etc, will just mean that files must differ from the last good incremental to be downloaded. That is still as reliable as rsync. I use this setup for all servers, including locals backups. Regards, Tyler -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." -- H.
