Assuming valid dates of last modification are returned by these URL's, it should only be necessary to add the new URL. In this case, htdig should be run *without* the -i option. This should result in new pages being indexed and added to the database and modified pages being reindexed. If the URL's do not return valid dates of last modification, you need to run htdig/htmerge on the new URL's only, and then run htmerge on the main database using the -m option to merge in the new databases. Btw, the -a does not 'backup' database files. It is used to specify that alternate work files (.work) be used rather than modifying the original databases in place. This allows an easy way to perform maintenance while the original databases are in active use.
