AIUI, that's just how incremental backup/restore works. > How can I get to delete those files that have been deleted in between > incremental backups? I take it you mean "automatically". The incremental backup would also need to contain information about files which had been deleted since the previous incremental. That would mean that the file system would need to hold information about previously deleted files, which in general it doesn't. Or the backup system would need to take a snapshot of all the directories at each backup. -- Charlie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
