Sorry, maybe "stupid" was too strong. Really, thanks for the help.
I've been pondering rsync. However, this is going to be run under Windows. So: 1. Installing rsync on the (Windows) client side could be a problem. 2. Automating AFS logon + rsync is going to be a problem 3. I've found that AFS directory stat() calls are fairly slow over the network. For example, doing a CVS checkout directly on an AFS drive is about doubnle the time of doing CVS by SSH on the same directory. I'm considering doing this as a web script that pumps out a ZIP file of changed files my mtime instead, something like this, but in a VB program: https://www.bkbox.com/backup.cgi?path=/afs/home/myuser&format=zip&mtime=jan1 2 | unzip Then again, rsync is OK. I'll let you know what works the best.
