that's true. daily would be granular enough, though more often would be nice. > If you don't have a good backup system in place, you shouldn't be > worrying about fancy file systems...you have a bigger problem. there i have to disagree. 2 of the file systems i've been considering have a simple mechanism for extracting a set of changes; obviously useful for backup. another 2 have a daily dump from which the backup scripts could read, rather than reading the current tree bit by bit as it perhaps changes. i think it's worth saying that inside and outside computing, taking 'fanciness' as a criterion has led me to some remarkably poor decisions. -- !}fmt -w72
