I want the /home backup script to overwrite the log file, and the / script will use >> to append to it. Thus, there will always be just one log file, renewed daily, and the gxmessage popup will display two lines, one for /home and one for /. I don't need to keep historical logs; I just want to see what happened last night. I haven't actually run the / backup script yet because I'm still not sure that I have the exclude-from file correct. My friends at DuckDuckGo have so far only come up with one web page with an example of such a file so I can see the correct syntax, nor does man rsync offer any insight. In fact, most web sites about rsync are just copies of other web sites about rsync. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
