Restores are rare, right? So it should not be terribly inconvenient to use a workaround, such as the technique for restoring sparseness to gzipped files (by piping to "cp --sparse=always"): http://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2003-January/msg00013.html http://www.thelinuxsociety.org.uk/content/gnunzip-to-a-sparse-file If you can get that to work on Windows with one of the GNU cp ports, you should be all set. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
