The key is using hardlinks on the target filesystem, so browse to any date (e.g. daly.0) and you have a complete directory listing. It's not CVS, but in some cases it is more usable. Lee

Lee Thank you Lee. I would go for rsnapshot if I didn't read http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html and http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ for an hour before seeing your email. I now understand the method of configuring rsync to make snapshots. I think I will write my own script based on these two web pages. Xianwen
