Okay, thinking about this a little more deeply, yes, I don't actually need the "all or nothing" perfect clone approach. But I do need access to the years of archives that are there. If I can go manually hunt and peck around for the files I need, I thought maybe TM could support it as a "static" or "archaic" archive or something. That's not really so unreasonable, is it? -Carl _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
