Hello I think I want to avoid this, it'll use too much disk. Won't NTBackup just make a large .bkf file? Which will be different every night when dirvish runs? Also, new TDB files could be created/deleted, so just selecting those in NTBackup will add just another thing 'to-do' for the backup. As it stands now, it's very simple and takes little involvement from anyone when the image changes. I'm hoping for a 'easy' solution, since we're dealing with < 10 .TDB files causing problems on a semi daily basis. I'm hoping for a rsync flag (not really seeing anything) that can ignore those files if they're locked or move them if they're free.
