Good point. My suggestion would be to use md5 (or sha1 if you're paranoid) and store the result along with the dumps. Compare the hashsums before backup, and if they are different mv the new dump over the old one. If your dumps are are textfiles - like mysql for example - you could even experiment with diff and patch. So you would have some sort of differential backup. Real DBMS support differential dumps anyway... ;-) Regards, Georg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
