Another question, why does the backup seem to start at 11am? is there a
place to alter this..... my server(localhost) is now backing up itself
and the load is now at 6.00, this makes other services slow on the
machine....
But it should do just an incremental backup now , right since it did its
first backup yesterday?
Any help appreciated....
Thanks..
