My clients are doing finite element calculations with *huge* data output. Backup strategy is to save the input data. For top-priority projects we backup everything using a virtual host with different FullKeepCnt values including only a single specified subdirectory. So it's kind of a pain to have all the empty dirs transferred - but we can live with that. Or am I missing a much more elegant approach? Thanks a lot for your help!
