Adrian Klaver, Thank you very much for your help---which I wouldn't need so much of if I only read the FINE documentation more closely.
Now I see that there are very good reasons why rdiff-backup does what it does in the default case and that the options allow one to deal with problems like mine. You are an impressively quick responder. -- Bob Hossley segundo...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
