If I've understood dirvish correctly, the monthly backup is the full backup and the 7-day-backups are differential backups - but with added hardlinks [1] to the files in the full (monthly) backup, so that they look like a full backup if you go into the directory of the daily backup. -cord [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link#Example -- Cord Walter email: [email protected] Public PGP-Key available on request Weil es niemanden etwas angeht, dass ich nichts zu verbergen habe: http://www.gnupg.org/ http://www.truecrypt.org/ ...und überhaupt: http://www.FreiheitstattAngst.de _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
