If you pull CVS it'll be there, or there was a test "flexbackup-1.2.1a.tar.gz" you can find in www.flexbackup.org/tarball I think. (Note you'll also need rsync >= 2.5.6.) -Edwin -- Edwin Huffstutler [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key ID: AE782DC9 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ flexbackup-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
