Frank - perhaps what you need is a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) setup where the laptops automatically get added to the DNS server when they request an IP fro the DHCP server? As long as you make the lease time something short then the records will all expire when the laptop leaves the network or just purge the names at the end of each day? If they are in DNS then you can refer in your dirvish to the laptops by hostname and maybe have something like a script that tries to ping each one. If it gets a reply then it kicks off the dirvish job? Or just run dirvish-runall every hour and if the laptop is connected it gets backed up and if not then better luck next time? Just an idea - not got a working model! HTH Noel _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
