That is incorrect. Backuppc does its incrementals against the last full; not against the previous incremental (unless you set $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
