Perhaps 'aptitude search rdiff ' might assist as there is a rdiff-backup there and a few other progs/scripts(?). ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

That's just what I thought... but the man page I have for rdiff says nothing about how to compare files between systems... Could it be that the man page s defective? It does say 'similar to rsync', and mentions that 'he original rsync algorithm was discovered by Andrew Tridgell.' but that's hardly a specification. Was I just too tired to figure out these clues? Should I have experimented with rdiff pretending it took the same parameters and syntax as rsync? Or should I lodge a bug report against the man page? -- hendrik > > Hope this helps, > -- > Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 > GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 > Support Free Softwarehttps://my.fsf.org/donate > Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I missed it looking through the man page. And if you want to see the differences, you may be interested in rdiff. Haven't used it myself but sound (and looks) like it fits your bill.
