Most of what you are saying doesn't make sense and/or is not workable with straight backuppc. But it can pretty much all be done using backuppcfs.pl which is a fuse interface to the backuppc pc hierarchy including: - Unmangled filenames - Uncompressed files - Correct ownership and permissions (assuming you have the user and group names in your /etc/password and /etc/group files) - Links to 'latest' and 'oldest' backups See the Wikki and/or google the Usenet archive for details... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
