Oh yea ... I see that now; and, even better is: I can specify the directory too (so I don't have to see it all). Great! Is there anyway to search a range of dates ? Like 6weeks to 5weeks ago, by chance ? Anyway, using that, with grep, probably would be enough to find what I am looking for. It doesn't happen that often, but, I suppose, that is what the incremental is for! On another note, any thoughts on how I might have rdiff-backup --remove-older-than only when hard drive space is too low for the next backup (and only remove the oldest version necessary to free up enough space) ? Am happy to play with it myself, but didn't know if anyone had any insight ... I am not all that savvy with python yet, but am learning. Thanks again!
