Ahh i see ok so if i force an incremental for all machines at, say
midnight or 11pm they will always backup at that time then? ok cool...
Another quick question, rather than do the rsync thing over ssh, i want
to use a conf file someone on the list provided me to be placed in the
pc's name dir... IE pc/localhost, now do i name the file config.pl or
the name of the directory/pc IE localhost.pl as i forst named it
localhost.pl and it still used ssh rather than tar
Thanks dude!
