ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hi, I am trying to work out what files have been sent to backup using mmbackup. I have increased the -L value from 3 up to 6 but only seem to see the files that are in scope, not the ones that are selected. I can see the three file lists generated during a backup, but can’t seem to find a list of what files were backed up. It should be the diff of the shadow and shadow-old, but the wc -l of the diff doesn’t match the number of files in the backup summary. Wrong assumption? Where should I be looking – surely it shouldn’t be this hard to see what files are selected?
