No, rsync/rsyncd are the only xfer methods where the target side has any knowledge of the previous backup's contents. However, if you do more frequent smb fulls, backuppc will pool the duplicate content anyway, so you might do that instead of incrementals. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
