Hi The p9p vac discussion made me re-think the way I use vac.
man vac "-q Increase the performance of the -a or -d options by detecting unchanged files based on a match of the files name and other meta data, rather than examining the contents of the files" Why is -q not a default? Is there a reliability concern with that option? I am currently doing an hourly backup using vac -d old_date-time.vac -f new_date-time.vac /home which gives me a collection files with a date-time.vac filename. I am thinking I should just use vac -a main.vac /home to switch to this method I only need to rename latest date-time.vac to main.vac and delete the other ones, right? fernan -- http://www.fernski.com
