Well, I confess I made guesses about what it was and didn't give it my full attention, I confess. The longer explanation from the web site cleared that up for me, however. So, granted that you need the backups on removable media (e.g. CDRW) for protection against physical zaps (e.g. drive is fried), the idea would be to use rdiff to reduce the amount of space needed quite dramatically? Is that the idea? I still see a problem. Doesn't damage to an early diff in a long diff chain needed to recover a file, make data recovery either much harder or impossible? luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
